Digital language training - A first-hand report

Together with Oleg, a total of 75 employees took part in the testing phase. Within 4 weeks, they were to improve their German language skills with the help of the LinguaTV app. In addition to the multimedia self-learning courses, the participants received personal support from a learning coach. The coach was in regular contact with his or her protégés, answering questions and helping them to achieve their learning goals. In addition to basic language skills, the program also covered job-specific logistics topics such as technical vocabulary and occupational safety. These were presented in the form of scenic videos or vocabulary trainers and could then be practiced and further deepened with the help of interactive exercises. Oleg particularly likes the conversation trainer. He can use it to reenact typical scenes from his everyday professional life and practice both his active speaking and his pronunciation. He already feels much more confident in contact with customers and colleagues as a result.

At the end of the testing phase, the evaluation of the learning data also shows an extremely positive interim result. On average, the 75 self-learners each spent more than 22 minutes a day learning with the LinguaTV app. Each of the participants thus comes to an impressive learning time of over 7 hours, spread over an average of 28 sessions of about 16 minutes each. The goal of offering the most effective microlearning possible was thus implemented to perfection: easy-to-digest learning bites that can be easily integrated into everyday working life. The target group-oriented concept of the language training can also be seen in the high motivation of the participants. Around 90% of respondents answered that they were very well motivated to learn independently with the app. Oleg's employer was impressed by these results. The company now wants to offer the digital language training to all its employees.
