Study of online business English teaching combined with music therapy to alleviate the bidirectional disorder

Abstract

Background

Bipolar disorder challenges bilingual students’ oral and written communication skills. Traditional teaching methods may need to be more effective in meeting their needs. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of online interactive business English teaching combined with English music therapy on alleviating bipolar disorder in bilingual students.

Subjects and Methods

This study recruited 50 students with bipolar disorder as research subjects, and the subjects were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group received online interactive business English teaching combined with English music therapy for 12 weeks, while the control group only received online interactive business English teaching. A standardized communication disorder assessment scale was used to evaluate the status of the subjects before and after the intervention, and SPSS23.0 software was used for statistical analysis.

Results

The communication ability of the experimental group was significantly improved compared with that of the control group (P<0.05). The experimental group showed enhanced verbal and written communication skills, increased knowledge of vocabulary and grammar, and improved understanding and expression of ideas. The control group also improved somewhat, but less than the experimental group.

Conclusions

Combining online interactive business English teaching and English music therapy can effectively alleviate bidirectional disorder in bilingual students. The inclusion of music therapy in the teaching program positively impacts oral and written communication skills, vocabulary acquisition, and overall thinking skills.
