New Language Course App for the iPad Will Open the Next Frontier for Language Learning
This post is in response an April 2, 2010 press release on the ESL 5073 class blog maintained by Dr. Wright. The Hello-Hello Spanish app for the iPad was developed by a language-learning company. The app is available at the iTunes Store at a cost of $4.99. The language learning app includes flash cards, conversational lessons, sentences to practice vocabulary and is based on authentic situations. One advantage is that the app does not require Wi-Fi or 3G networks to operate. The creator claims the iPad will revolutionize language learning because it offers interactivity, connectivity, and portability. Users will be able to work on lessons while sitting on a train or taxi, waiting in line, or on the beach. However, is learning a language on-the-go, anywhere, anytime a good thing? Why is it important to multi-task while learning a language? Shouldn’t we be concerned with mental focus instead?
