DISCUSSIONS AND CONCLUSIONS
The learning effects of collaborative learning in the technology-supported classroom were competitive with those of other two groups. Not only did learning collaboratively in the technology-supported classroom help our participants learn the target words, it also helped them retain the target words. The benefits of vocabulary retention or long-term memory confirmed the findings in previous studies. The feature, different from other studies, was the touchscreen technology that allowed every group member to participate in the English vocabulary review activities. Surrounding their touchscreen desktops, group members were able to clarify and confirm their comprehension and decisions with each other. Reaching a consensus among group members and later receiving positive feedback from the learning systems facilitated their learning and acquisition.
