## Abstract

The advancement of Internet technology is promptly entering English classes, which fundamentally modifies the mode of English teaching. Internet of Things (IoT) is a better-linked and collaborative future for English education. The proliferation of smartphones and the Internet of Things (IoT) has made it easier for educational institutions to boost campus security, monitor vital resources, and broaden students' access to knowledge. Auxiliary devices and IoT devices give learners better access to everything from learning material to communication channels, and they give educators the capability to measure pupil learning process in real time. The response time is long in conventional English education, with low student satisfaction. Hence, in this study, the Internet of Things-assisted English Education Auxiliary Teaching Model (IoT-EEATM) has been proposed to increase teacher-student satisfaction. This study focuses on the education field, where the IoT can be utilized to create more important learning spaces using the Electronic Learning platform. This research suggests a system that allows learners to interact with surrounding physical objects virtually connected with a learning subject. An algorithm optimization technique is proposed, and data transformation technology is used to increase real-time teaching and management efficiency. The particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm further enhances the students' speculative abilities in English education. The authenticity and effectiveness of the particle swarm optimization method in the English teaching model are validated. The experimental results show that the proposed IoT-EEATM model improves student learning outcomes by 97.8%, satisfaction ratio by 96.4%, student-teacher interaction ratio by 98.8%, and participation ratio by 95.5%, reducing the execution time by 9.8% compared to other popular models.

## 1. Overview of Auxiliary Devices for English Teaching

English is widespread worldwide and is commonly utilized in many fields as the main language for communication [1]. Because of the significance of the English language in nonnative English-speaking countries, applying new tools to support students in learning English is a critical problem [2]. Computers and other auxiliary devices are beneficial in helping learners study English as a Second Language (ESL), and lecturers need to work with technology to improve students’ performance [3]. Mobile applications are the modern technological advances to support English language learning [4]. Furthermore, students lack the incentive to study the English Language, which is frequently a necessary educational item, and they lack the needed involvement in the flow of learning owing to the mismatch between their skill level and the problem at hand [5]. English language learners struggle to focus and be motivated to practice their language skills is one of the most common obstacles they face when attempting to acquire the language [6]. College English professors have used traditional classroom teaching techniques, such as teaching by example, Book Introduction, and classroom blackboard writing throughout the teaching time to transfer fundamental information and teach English in the classrooms. The disadvantages of this teaching technique are mismatched with the current background of pursuing a more widespread and appropriate education model [8]. It is challenging to arouse learners’ enthusiasm for learning and is boring for educators to apply [9]. Thus, this problem is addressed to effectively create an English learning course to motivate learners [10].With the prompt advancement of modern-generation information technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, and artificial intelligence (AI), more and more universities and colleges are applying modern IT to English teaching [11]. It augments the teaching approaches and encounters the requirements of learners for diversified and personalized learning [12]. The IoT network connects devices like personal tablets, computers, laptops, PDAs, smartphones, and other hand-held embedded devices [13]. The Internet of Things (IoT) makes it possible to handle information at high speeds, share resources, improve the connection between professors and students, increase the flexibility of college staff deployment, and uncover educational errors and issues more easily [14]. The present state of English education makes it difficult to cultivate future English teachers because of the absence of interaction. It is possible to boost students' interest in English and fulfill their learning requirements by using smart English teaching methods [16]. By using technology, institutions can give learners an affluent learning experience, enhance their skills, and get the best performance from students [17]. IoT is one of the present fast-moving trends that change the traditional classroom setting and is helpful in all subjects [18]. Utilizing the Internet and big data-based technologies to explore the internal laws between educators, learners, grades, courses, and other content can offer a reference basis for the education decision-making levels and teaching and guide the entire teaching task and teaching plan construction [19]. Perceiving the online teaching systems of numerous universities and colleges, it is discovered that colleges and universities' existing online teaching platforms are mostly used to store pupils' course selection, score inquiry, and registration data [20].Aiming at the problems existing in English teaching, the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm with a computer optimization function is used to improve English teaching. An interactive teaching model of English teaching is constructed using algorithms to enhance students’ participation in English teaching, and the particle swarm algorithm is utilized to build the database. The PSO is utilized to realize the English teaching scheme and set the corresponding communication area simultaneously, which provides a broad platform for the user’s grammar practice. The use of computer aid can display the grammar structure in the form of data and graphics, reducing work pressure in the teaching process, and improving teaching efficiency.The major contributions of the study are as follows:(i)
Designing the Internet of Things-assisted English Education Auxiliary Teaching Model (IoT-EEATM) using auxiliary devices for effective English teaching and learning.(ii)
Analyze the main principles and implementation process of PSO in the English teaching mode.(iii)
The experimental results have been performed, and the suggested model enhances the student learning outcome and satisfaction compared to other existing models.In section2, existing methods and models of English teaching have been discussed. In section 3, the Internet of Things-assisted English Education Auxiliary Teaching Model (IoT-EEATM) has been proposed. In section 4, experimental results have been performed. In section 5, the conclusion and future scope have been summarized.


## 2. Related Survey

Sun et al. [21] suggested the Deep Learning-assisted Online Intelligent English Teaching System (DL-OIETS). An English teaching evaluation model was developed based on decision tree algorithms and neural networks. Teachers may use it to better their education and the English score of their students by using it as a source of important data from an abundance of information. An expert system for artificial intelligence is reflected in this system's design. Using the system's test application reveals that it may assist students in enhancing their performance and make learning information more relevant. It contains a referential definition and offers an exemplary model of related procedures.Alaa et al. [22] proposed the Fuzzy Delphi and TOPSIS Methods (FD-TOPSIS) to evaluate and rank the framework for preservice teachers' English Skills. All preservice teachers' ranks were ranked using the mean and standard deviation. Following are the findings: experts' opinions were acquired via interviews and a structured questionnaire, and 25 criteria from prior research were found to be representative. The material was determined to be accurately utilizing a Likert scale of five points. The Delphi technique resulted in the inclusion of 14 criteria in the framework. The assessment framework's findings were tested on a group of prospective teachers. Preservice teachers' selection difficulties may be solved with TOPSIS. It was found that the scores of groups did not vary significantly, suggesting that the ranking outcomes were equal.Yeşilçınar [23] discussed the Flipped Classroom Model and Output-driven/Input-enabled model (FCM-OIM) to Enhance Adult English as a Foreign Language (EFL) Learners’ Speaking Skills. The researcher employed qualitative and quantitative data collecting techniques, in-class observations from the instructors, two questionnaires (Satisfaction of FCM Experience and Opinions of Speaking), and semistructured focus groups. A flipped learning strategy improved not the students' speaking abilities and their motivation and level of satisfaction with FCM. It is possible to use the findings as a reference for developing oral skills for EFL students.Chien et al. [24] deliberated the Spherical Video-based Virtual Reality (SVVR) for predicting EFL pupils’ English-Speaking Performance and Learning Perceptions. It was found that the student's English speaking, critical thinking abilities, learning motivation, and a reduction in their English learning anxiety all improved with the peer assessment-based SVVR method than the non-peer-assessment SVVR method. In addition, there was a statistical correlation between student and instructor evaluations. Peer comments were divided into four sorts in this study: praise, opinion, criticism, and inappropriate. Regarding the students' English-speaking abilities, praise feedback was beneficial, while criticism feedback was potentially harmful. The student's performance in the initial peer assessment stage was not substantially connected with Irrelevant feedback, while the association was strongly negative in the later stage. It is also challenging for English as a Foreign Language students to pay attention to English-speaking abilities since many agreed that while they wished to adopt a comparable teaching technique, English-speaking ability was not a topic for examination and hence would not be examined.Tian [25] recommended the Computer Network Environment (CNE) for optimizing college English classroom teaching. Due to the ongoing reform of the educational system, universities and colleges in recent years have initiated sweeping changes to how college English is taught. As a result of the widespread use of IT and networking, an increasing number of EFL educators are embracing a new technological revolution by enhancing their classroom practices with the aid of these tools. Teachers and researchers need to work hard in the complexities to find the correlation, combine innovative teaching techniques with the courses filled with new contents, and then promote the high quality and sustainable development of modern English education by understanding the teaching objects and satisfying the teaching needs of today's students. Computer network technology has unique advantages in innovating teaching methods and improving teaching modes, and these advantages are not explicit.Gao introduced the Clementine Data Mining (CDM) for establishing college English teachers’ teaching ability evaluation. Using data mining technology, this article anonymizes and encodes the data, discretizes the teaching characteristic variables of English teachers with a large number of eigenvalues, processes teaching data by rough set reduction method, and processes English teachers' teaching database to be mined by fuzzy rule method, determines the decision table, sets minimum support and minimum confidence, obtains association rules through association rule mining method, and finally realizes English language teaching. The experimental findings demonstrate that the suggested method's assessment results are credible and may accurately represent instructors' actual abilities, offering a useful decision-making reference for educational administration.Based on the survey, there are several challenges in existing methods such as Deep Learning-assisted Online Intelligent English Teaching System (DL-OIETS), Fuzzy Delphi and TOPSIS Methods (FD-TOPSIS), Flipped Classroom Model and Output-driven/Input-enabled model (FCM-OIM), Spherical Video-based Virtual Reality (SVVR) in achieving high student satisfaction, and learning outcome. The following section3 discusses the proposed IoT-EEATM model briefly.


## 3. Internet of Things-Assisted English Education Auxiliary Teaching Model (IoT-EEATM)

As a means of communication, the English language also serves as a channel for disseminating knowledge about the politics, economics, culture, and other facets of society critical to a nation's overall strength. Because of the increasing need for skilled professionals who are fluent in English and have the ability to compete on a worldwide scale, English education is becoming more important. Recently, the IoT technology has attracted much attention, and different evaluation systems and approaches have been expressed to promote noble moral sentiment, good political quality, and the strong working ability of English educators. Online multimedia teaching has become probable with the continuous development of different Internet technology and multimedia improvement. Utilizing multimedia technology, the education content in the conventional education industry is enveloped in the form of pictures, text, video, audio, and mixed with the teaching content of the teaching technique, and then disseminated the multimedia teaching contents via the wireless network can be more accessibly given to the majority of teaching staffs to learn. In this paper, the Internet of Things-assisted English Education Auxiliary Teaching Model (IoT-EEATM) has been proposed. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) has been introduced to analyze the efficiency of English teaching in an online environment.


### 3.1. Model 1: IoT-Based English Teaching and Learning

Figure1 shows the proposed IoT-EEARM Model. The system's design involves every functional module's overall model structure, database structure, network structure, and program design. The model delivers users with a personalized interface that renders the system user category, user’s request, and access right appropriate for user maintenance and operation. The database layer is accountable for the data storage of the system. The teaching evaluation system's database management system is based on IoT technology. The purpose is to help students select courses, complete exams, learn online, and communicate with each other. Furthermore, teachers must create learning courses, upload learning materials, supervise pupil learning, publish courses, statistical analysis, create exams, and query. Thus, effective inspections of various procedures are mandatory for the system administrator.Figure 1
Proposed IoT- EEATM model.The conventional teaching method has not been able to keep up with today's educational standards. In this scenario, the initial way of teaching has to be improved further. The Internet of Things (IoT) takes existing information, transforms it into digital information, stores it across various media, and then disseminates it globally. People need a scientific and reasonable length for algorithm particles to ensure that the iteration and optimization process is fast enough for our students to learn. The Internet of Things (IoT) contains data on a wide range of education-related knowledge, information, and intelligence. Because of this, particle swarm optimization is required to utilize the Internet of Things.


### 3.2. Model 2: Improved Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm

Particle swarm optimization necessitates the identification of a target. Setting the objective may be done in one of the following ways:(1)Zi¯=∑j=1nyjin,i=1,2,⋯,m.As shown in (1) where Zi¯ denotes data setting, n indicates the amount of data, j signifies arrangement of the data, and yji represents IoT type. This method can quickly find information suitable for English teaching in the IoT and optimize the search method of the target so that the technique can eliminate the interference factors in the data. The classification of these IoT enables teachers and students to better select learning materials in teaching English. By incorporating these materials, students can construct a good English learning environment.Figure2 shows the curriculum learning module of English education. The advancement of network technology has endorsed the improvement. The grouping of IoT and network technology can offer a resource for educators, learners, and all classes of individuals so that learners can break through the limitations of physical position and teaching period and have a more accessible learning atmosphere. The auxiliary teaching model of English education uses web technology, English education course resource classification via modular management, and extensible markup language of English education ways. This model can increase the recovery effects of teaching resource.Figure 2
Curriculum learning module of English education.Compared with conventional information resources, network information resources have more significant advantages in structure, quantity, distribution, and comprehensive data. For different IoT types, network information must be limited in scope. It can be set in the following way:(2)Nji=yji−Zi¯Zi¯.As inferred from the (2) where Njirepresents the range of information, andyji signifies IoT type. Teachers and students can acquire the network information resources in a limited area using the above formula. After the search scope is set, students can search for the English-related IoT, which will ensure that they can concentrate on the English training process and improve their comprehensive ability to use network information technology in searching for network resources. Students can choose online learning resources according to their study habits and interests and can effectively guarantee their English level. The classroom time at university is always short, and students can get trained according to their hobbies in their spare time. Students can choose their learning style based on their level through this student-centred learning approach.Suppose that in a search space for food of dimensiond, n is used to represent the population of particles composed of potential problems.(3)W=y1¯,y2¯,⋯,yn¯.The particles are the operational object in the research process and represent the corresponding training methods to obtain the optimal obtaining within this food area. A set of information represented byw signifies the data set that needs to be selected for the algorithm pattern. The information that corresponds to the goal has to be picked out, and then the value of Y requirements to be put into an adaptive value computed by the objective function linked with the issue being resolved. These values are recorded, and the optimal data selection is made under the constraints of these formulas. Mark the value and then find an optimal selection. The PSO algorithm then uses the subsequent formula for the selected particles for the following operations.(4)Ujl+1=Ujl+b1×r1×Qjl−Yjl+Ujl+b2×r2×Qhl−Yjt.In the above formula,j=1,2,3,⋯,n are used as particle labels; l is an algebraic value of the iteration; b1, b2 are the values of two constants, and the value is generally 2; r1 and r2 are taken as random values that distribute it between 0 and 1. To control Ujl and Yjl to take values in a reasonable area, a limitation is imposed. The algorithm mainly calculates the particles through three parts and compares the current and optimal positions. Then, the optimal position of the next move is calculated, and the above formula is calculated by describing the particle according to the two-dimensional space.The entire system design structure is entirely based on the Internet of things. The system background utilizes MySQL as database servers, and the system accepts browser modes and is not constrained by hardware settings. It can comprehend cross-platform applications and deliver different provision services for pupils learning on networks, which plays a crucial role in enhancing learners’ learning effects.Supposing that the information gathered from pupil learning modules and the speed of data storage iso, the educator teaching module is n, and the pupil learning speed is o1′,o2′,⋯,om′, the data attribute of English education course is as follows:(5)no=o1′,o2′,⋯,om′,o2′,o3′,⋯,om′,om′.Consistent with the learning process of various learners, online assessment can only be carried out after being verified by the model. The model stores the attribute information, mines it, standardizes the mined information, and then acquires the first values of online assessment via analysis of the whole data online assessment. Personalized teaching is completely comprehended in the network environment to enable learners’ self-directed learning. It has particular pertinence in controlling students, can reasonably modify learning contents, and has functions of diagnosis and reasoning. Through IoT, online education can offer personalized interfaces and network technology, significantly stimulating learners’ sensory thinking and enhancing students’ interest. The modular structure is utilized to create the shared database in the system independent of every other to enhance efficiency.Figure3 shows the hybrid PSO module. Particle swarms created from diverse subsets of samples encode the initial feature set, and every particle is assessed by several classifiers, every with evaluation metrics, in this module. Searches are done for feature subsets that may improve recognition accuracy with a certain kind of classifiers and be evaluated using appropriate assessment criteria. For this hybrid system, it is argued that an ensemble optimizer can generalize better than an individual-object optimizer since several swarming formulations are preferred to a single space-based feature selection technique. In line with the hybrid module concept, improving feature selection efficiency with numerous searching spaces and maintaining variety across searching spaces are the objectives of building a PSO algorithm (Algorithm 1).Figure 3

The setting of a function affects the optimal global positiongbestq and optimal local position kbestqp in every dimension of feature sets. For jth iteration, these two factors are identified by the local optimal fitness kFitj and optimal global fitness hFit, they are computed as follows:(6)kFitj=maxfitnessY1j,fitnessY2j,⋯,fitnessYNj.(7)hFit=maxkFit1,kFit2,…,kFitI.In the PSO algorithm, whereω denotes inertia weight, t indicates the iteration or generation number, Ujd and Yjd indicate the position and velocity of jth particle correspondingly. b1, b2 are constant weight factors known as acceleration coefficient. The learning process and imitating the behavior of improved individuals in a population is recognized as social learning. In this condition, every particle signifies potential solutions to the optimization issue, which means every fish is a potential food source, and therefore, every particle retains track of its positions in the M-dimensional issue space. As the optimization progression evolves, particle swarm optimization uses fitness functions to measure every particle’s position and then employs velocity functions to identify its next move, comprising direction and velocity. The fitness function is intended for the requirements of a particular optimization issue, while the velocity function is collected from two simulations, specifically, the social-only and the cognition-only model.Figure4 shows the principle of the particle swarm optimization algorithm. Since the PSO algorithm is one of the evolutionary computing methods utilized to find near-optimal solutions that instantaneously meet multi-objective functions, this study suggests that a PSO-based model finds suitable online learning materials and then composes them into personalized e-learning that satisfies the objective function concurrently. Auxiliary materials contain blogs posted by students, providing more interactive and cooperative features for the learning procedure. For the development of particle swarms, the position and velocity of every particle are required to be updated in each generation. The particle's velocity signifies the likelihood that the dimensions of a particle vector equal 1 or 0.Figure 4
The principle of the PSO algorithm.Figure5 shows teacher equipment and content management model. This study primarily aims at excellent English educators in colleges and universities; most instructors pay more attention to students' performance. To relate the theory of IoT to real English education, instructors must learn to syndicate the theory with the persistence and content of English education when scheming personalized English reading actions. Content management arises when instructors manage spaces, equipment, materials, the movement of individuals, and lesson that are part of a program or curriculum of education. Equipment management for instructors should have six modules: access control, video surveillance, attendance; environmental monitoring and control; control, audio, and security system. The smart classroom teaching model necessitates registering the full file data of every equipment asset, obtaining real-time condition data from the field, and remotely controlling and operating field equipments. There must be a content guarantee for content administration, knowledge map, and knowledge recommendation. The suggested IoT-EEATM model enhances the student learning outcome, satisfaction ratio, student-teacher interaction ratio, and participation ratio and reduces the execution time compared to other existing methods.Figure 5

## 4. Numerical Results and Discussion

The suggested IoT-EEATM model for effective English teaching and learning using improved PSO for online learning. In this research, 100 students have been selected as research samples. There were 70 male and 30 female learners to guarantee the scientific aspect and accurateness of the research experiment, and a student database was analysed before implementing this study. The dataset includes student demographics such as performance, assessment, and participation using the dataset. The dataset obtained by gathering student comments following course completion ranges from 1 (lowest) to 5 (highest). This study discusses student learning outcomes, satisfaction, student-teacher interaction, participation, and execution time compared to Deep Learning-assisted Online Intelligent English Teaching System (DL-OIETS), Fuzzy Delphi and TOPSIS Methods (FD-TOPSIS), Flipped Classroom Model and Output-driven/Input-enabled model (FCM-OIM), and Spherical Video-based Virtual Reality (SVVR) methods.Table1 shows the comparative analysis of student performance using the IoT-EEATM model. English classroom environment affects learners’ biased environmental cognition, and learners' awareness of the learning background has an essential influence on their educational performance. For instance, educators must add more communication sessions and promptly relieve classroom learning assessment outcomes to enhance the synchronous interaction between educators and learners, which can support learners to reproduce their performance in-class conversation, enhance their learning attitudes and approaches, and improve their learning performance. Depending on this process, in the online education learning progression, the plan of student-educator interaction attains the resolution of enhancing pupils’ learning performance and increasing learners’ learning effects by cultivating the psychological environment, thus growing pupils’ learning engagement and enthusiasm.Table 1

### 4.2. Satisfaction Ratio

Distance learning may help students study more independently, regardless of where they are. Without constant instructor monitoring, students can engage in learning activities such as reading, practicing, and repeating what they've already learned. New and more genuine evaluation methods and challenges to established educational institutions (e.g., semester-length time limitations) raise questions about what influences students' expectations and happiness in the classroom. Understanding the satisfaction construct requires understanding how students' expectations impact instructor-designed successful technological tools in online English courses. From equation (5), the satisfaction ratio has been calculated. The recommended IoT-EEATM model enhances the satisfaction ratio by 96.4% compared to other existing approaches. Figure 7 shows the satisfaction ratio.Figure 7

### 4.3. Student-Teacher Interaction Ratio

Interactive Online Learning Environments for Student-Teacher Interaction offer effective strategies and processes for formulating regulations to make people more aware of activities that improve online learning. One of the most common ways students and teachers interact in an online course is through participating in asynchronous or synchronous conversations, working together to complete course tasks, and communicating with the instructor by e-mail, phone, or in person. One of the most important aspects of teaching is ensuring that students are engaged in the content and that instructors have more than enough opportunity to connect with them and encourage critical thinking while meeting instructional objectives. From (6), the student-teacher interaction ratio has been calculated. The anticipated IoT-EEATM model enhances student-teacher interaction by 98.8%. Figure 8 shows the student-teacher interaction ratio.Figure 8

### 4.4. Participation Ratio

As a result, participation is a multifaceted process that includes actions and communication and thinking, feeling, and belonging, online and offline. Using the proposed IoT-EEATM concept, it is clear that learners may learn both online and offline, for example, via computer-mediated communication with classmates and professors. A positive psychological climate may help online learners who are not directly supervised contribute more enthusiastically in interactions with educators and integrate themselves into class learning, which may help pupils rapidly enter the classroom learning condition and eventually attain high learning effects, as this research suggests. From (7), student participation has been calculated. The suggested IoT-EEATM model enhances the student participation ratio by 95.5% compared to other models.

### 4.5. Execution Time

The Internet of Things (IoT) aims to tackle the problem of auxiliary devices' mutual sensing, communication, and control. Consequently, the IoT technology fulfills the two primary needs of the 4G management for data gathering and execution. Thin client architecture is often used in IoT technologies, lowering the physical processor cost. The physical side transmits basic information to the cloud and performs cloud commands thanks to IoT technology, shifting complicated computing activity to the cloud for processing. Using the instant-feedback tools, for example, might help address the challenge of quickly administering and maintaining formative exams in a class with numerous students. The execution time has been calculated from (7) and algorithm 1. The suggested IoT-EEATM model achieves less execution time by 9.8% than other models. Figure 10 demonstrates the execution time.Figure 10
