Studying the Interactive Efficiency of Social Media in English Language Education Based on Time Series Prediction Algorithms

Abstract

Social media as a new type of media has become an important channel for people to obtain information and communicate, which brings new opportunities and challenges for English education. In this study, the Markov chain model is improved by using the weighted ward system clustering method and the fuzzy set theory to improve the prediction performance of the model. Then the ARIMA model and the improved Markov chain model are combined to construct an improved time series prediction model to realize the prediction of the interaction efficiency of social media in English education. The performance of the improved prediction model is superior compared to other comparative models, providing reliability for the subsequent prediction results. The prediction results show that the interactive efficiency of social media interaction data in English education shows an upward trend over time, and the number of readings and playbacks of English courseware resources as well as video resources increases from 18477 and 18147 to 88629 and 84571 in six months. The predicted results of this study indicate that social media has good interactive efficiency in English education, which can be utilized in the future to expand the dimension of education, build an English education platform, expand the teaching space and extend educational thinking, and play a percolating role in English education.
