Learning languages successfully with your smartphone
Mobile learning makes it easier than ever to learn a new language without having to attend traditional classroom instruction. However, most apps have two weaknesses: they neglect the need to conduct a conversation and they require a high degree of self-discipline from the learner. LinguaTV has developed suitable solutions for both these problems.
The team of language teachers and programmers has worked up to now with a proven combination of scenic videos, grammar tutorials, interactive exercises and a vocabulary trainer function. LinguaTV has now released its latest feature: a conversation trainer. This combines the skills of listening, reading and speaking and gives learners the opportunity to actively engage in dialogue with a native speaker.
Based on the video of the respective lesson, the learners can slip into the role of one of the protagonists. Then the dialogue is re-enacted. This form of exercise requires numerous skills from learners. First of all, they have to hear and understand what the interlocutor says, read their answer and produce it out loud so that the entire context of the dialogue makes sense. The pronunciation of the learner is assessed using automatic speech recognition. The aim is to promote language awareness and ensure linguistic success by using authentic dialogues and giving the learners the opportunity to put into practice the language they have already learned.
The second hurdle in self-study courses is autonomous learning: not everyone can learn regularly and in a disciplined way. LinguaTV offers additional modular options, which can be combined with one another as required. For example, the multimedia self-study course can be supplemented by coaching. The participants receive a personal contact who accompanies them on their language-learning journey. Experienced teachers guarantee high-quality coaching, carried out as required by e-mail, telephone or chat.
For a particularly intensive training, LinguaTV also offers one-to-one lessons in the virtual classroom. This is seamlessly integrated with the digital, self-study teaching materials (Blended Learning) and so guarantees the most effective use of the various training options.
Several studies confirm that the combination of these training options with relevant learning materials guarantees faster and sustainable success.
