Duolingo


Duolingo is another popular language learning app and it is the most downloaded one in the world so far. It offers 85 different courses in 24 languages. Gamification is poured into each lesson; your hearts keep your lesson alive and when you answer incorrectly, you lose a heart. If you run out of hearts, you simply just start over again. There's a streak count to motivate you to stay on track by displaying the number of days you spent learning a language in a row. It has in-lesson grading so you can immediately see if your answers are correct or not. Each lesson includes a variety of skills such as speaking, listening and translation etc. with multiple choice challenges. Additionally, it can be easily used in schools as thousands of teachers are already using it for their students' development.

It allows students to develop better communication and social skills, which in addition increases their overall self-confidence. Holistic learning not only focuses on the mental development, but also on the psychological, social and the emotional growth of the learner.

Significance of this blog

Art is defined as 'the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination...' by Oxford Dictionaries. Thus, taking this definition of the word art into account, it is apparent that teaching isn't about giving instructions but rather the way one is capable of producing art while doing it, especially in the field of ELT. reference:en.oxforddictionaries.com Links to other blogs related to ELT: http://eltuptodate.blogspot.com/ https://elteachershub.blogspot.com/ https://backtotheelt.blogspot.com/ https://teacherinprogression.blogspot.com https://asyoulikelt.blogspot.com
