In recent years, remote learning has become prevalent in the lives of children, with numerous online learning platforms and tools entering the market. Children are compelled to adapt to digital devices for learning, making digital education a new and prominent development direction. However, some studies indicate that certain learning applications emphasize content at the expense of the crucial user experience, resulting in overly complex interface designs that pose difficulties for users and consequently impact the learning process. In order to facilitate children's comprehension and rapid adaptation to new educational systems, designing a clear, understandable, and user-friendly interface coupled with corresponding learning methods has become a necessary task. To alleviate cognitive burdens on children and enhance their ability to focus on learning, this research focuses on the "E-lenz Assistive Learning Device," primarily designed for teaching children English pronunciation. Utilizing the expert interview method and incorporating recommendations from English education professionals regarding instructional models, tablets serve as the learning tool in conjunction with interactive learning cards equipped with sensors. Through embedded instructional videos and triggered sound effects within the cards, the digital learning model is restructured. Throughout the design process, principles of child interface design are upheld to create the user interface and instructional model for the E-lenz Assistive Learning Device, addressing and minimizing interface complexity issues during children's use of learning aids. This research introduces a novel approach to English language learning.
