Optimising User Experience in Game-Based Language Learning: Interface Design for Chinese and English Learners – App Prototype

In today's rapidly changing educational landscape, parents and children demand
personalised, innovative, and engaging learning experiences beyond the standard
curriculum. Modern education places a premium on igniting curiosity, encouraging critical
thinking, and cultivating creativity. Collaborative learning between parents and children is
critical for improving academic performance and strengthening relationships. This article
discusses the "Yay Island" platform's game-based technique, which combines Mandarin
Chinese and English in a multicultural and multilingual setting. Initial study shows that digital technologies dramatically increase children's motivation and interest when paired with peer and parent participation and game-based teaching, resulting in a pleasant learning
environment. Further research demonstrates that collaborative and game-based learning
and teaching improves motivation, respects individual differences, and strengthens
parent-child connections.

As a game, "Yay Island" uses integrated learning, child psychology concepts, modern
educational methodologies, and user-centred design. It seeks to develop a collaborative
learning environment and encourage growth in children, parents, and educators. The game
emphasises knowledge, personal discovery, and innovation, laying the groundwork for
children's growth and future competition. Through constant research and optimisation, "Yay
Island" solves digital transformation concerns in education by providing personalised,
efficient, and entertaining learning experiences.
