Revision as of 12:21, 27 January 2015

We already have completed a language learning with is limited to vocabulary training. We also have this activity online. Bellow is some more ongoing work to extend it with sentenses.

The concept is like a flash card in which some pictures are displayed with an associated audio voice and written text. Internally we call it a triplet.

A set of triplet is organised in a lesson which are grouped in chapters. In each lesson we will propose about 10 triplets.

Once we have created the data set, the activity will let the children select a chapter. Then each triplet is displayed. Once all the triplet have been seen, different games will be proposed to let the children remember the triplets. For example, we may display several words in the source or target language and play an audio voice. The children must then click on the right word.
