This study is an investigation of the use of Talking Pen to help primary school students' English learning. The participants of this study were 26 elementary fourth-grade students. Questionnaires were applied in this study to collect learners' perception and attitude toward learning English with the Talking Pen. The results showed that the low-threshold learning devices provided learners with flexible learning opportunities and helped reduce their learning anxiety, thus enhance their interest in language learning. Based on participants' feedback, we plan to develop an online learning platform which could be integrated with the Talking Pen and further offer the functions such as learning record and annotations to enhance learning.
