JUSTIFICATION
With the appearance of new technologies, it has come to bring efficiency to the supply and
demand of goods and services. The man is in an increasingly demanding society in the
development of different areas such as work, economic, educational, social, family and
others, for this reason time, making quick, correct decisions, is constituted in a few of the
factors most appreciated by the human being.
Today the Internet offers various applications, however these applications are for a specific
population, expensive, difficult to download and generate problems for the consumer
Start Up wants to solve these problems and others that arise at the time of downloading for
users and improve their learning according to the level of English that the client has, with a
low cost for the general population.
GENERAL OBJETIVE
The general objective of this project is to develop an application for mobile devices that
supports the learning of the English language for students or anyone who wants to learn
English, also save the costs and time of learning this language.
SPECIFIC OBJETIVE
The specific objectives to achieve the general objective are:
Facilitate the acquisition of grammar and vocabulary in English.
Motivate and instill to learn a new one in a simple and funny way.
Reduce the cost of learning a new language.
Collaborate in teaching the English language in a dynamic way.
Help those who don’t have a lot of time to learn a new language.
Design an application that anyone can use it and learn in a self-taught way with
easy to understand theory,
Facilitate the teaching of the English language in a dynamic and efficient way
THEORRETICAL FRAMEWORK
A long time ago, it was impossible to consider the possibility of learning English at home.
This was the time of traditional language schools and in-company courses.
In the last years the use of smartphone, iphone and tabs had influenced deeply in our
society, actually it is not only as a element of communication, so that it has more
importance every day like a tool of information and productivity in different aspects like
social, labour, academic, and others.
Today, with the arrival of apps and their constant evolution, learning English isn’t limited
to the classroom. Almost anyone can study a language from the comfort of their home or
from whatever place they prefer.
With an app you can do your weekly shopping, tune your ukelele, book a room on the other
side of the world, and even purchase the flight to take you there, all from the comfort of
your armchair. Apps even allow you to start learning a new language with a simple tap of a
button.
How effective are language learning apps?
Now more than ever, people who want to learn a new language turn to their mobile devices
for help as language learning applications have become increasingly available. While these
apps allow users to study a new language from anywhere at any time, how effective are
they?
In the study, which is published in Foreign Language Annals, 85 undergraduate students at
MSU used Ban application for 12 weeks to learn Spanish. At the beginning of the study, the
students took a pre-test to assess their existing oral proficiency, vocabulary and grammar in
Spanish. After 12 weeks, the 54 students who completed all study requirements took the
same test again to see how much knowledge they had gained.
The study showed that nearly all students who completed the requirements improved in
their Spanish language knowledge and/or ability to communicate after 12 weeks of that
application.
"On the whole, learners in this study increased their oral proficiency, as measured by an
improvement on a well-established and valid speaking test, the Oral Proficiency Interview,"
Loewen said. "These results establish that using Babbel can facilitate the development of
oral communication skills and not just grammar and vocabulary acquisition, as a previous
study had demonstrated."
So there are a number of benefits to using English learning apps to improve language
learning skills.
START UP
The application (START-UP) is an application to learn English with grammar, vocabulary,
and it has alot of exercises, short histories, and some activities to enjoy learning the
language . Our application (START-UP) will be very important for the development and
future of our society. One of the purposes is that the students themselves have a great
interest in this language and the comfort they want or demand, since we enter a
technological era with many innovations, what we expect from ( START -UP) is that with a
vision of the future. Our application will also be very dynamic for more understanding for
example. We plan to implement images and graphics at each level and to each topic.
Learn English Through Pictures
A picture paints a thousand words, it's true, and pictures are a great way of improving
English, especially if we are a visual learner. So, use pictures to learn vocabulary and
grammar. Don't just look at pictures, think about them. Discuss them. See if you can
describe what's happening in them, and name everything in them.
Importance of listening to learn English
Listening is vital in the language classroom because it provides input for the learner.
Without understanding input at the right level, any learning simply cannot begin. they hear
is an impetus, not an obstacle, to interaction and learning.
ABOUT (START-UP)
Our application has six parts
ENGLISH LEVEL TEST
In the first, the application has an English level test with two options, with this part the
people will know his level of English
There are 30 questions in which we will evaluate your level of grammatical agility, your
vocabulary, and your listening comprehension. The result of this test is indicative, but it
will help you to know your approximate level.
GRAMMAR
The idea of this section is to bring YouTube videos to a more educational environment and
without so many distractions where you can also leave your questions, which will serve to
add explanations to the videos, and interactive activities related to the lessons.
In this way, your doubts and questions can be useful to complement the videos and help to
better understand their contentS
This section has six parts which are: Codai, British council, English, English course, and
grammar with videos.
VOCABULARY
Learning English vocabulary is a fundamental step to improve your English. The best
option is to learn and practice 10-15 words every day. In these lessons, you will find the
opportunity to expand your vocabulary in English. In each lesson you will find
pronunciation and a comprehension exercise.
Our application has a lot of pictures for learning vocabulary for example the verbs, family,
parts of the body, people, animals, activities, home, the world, numbers, the time, and
others.
In our aplicación this information is organized in four parts: flashcards, easy English, most
used words, expressions
EXERCISES
The grammar exercises will help you consolidate your knowledge of the English language.
When you are doing the exercises, you will have the opportunity to go to the lessons where
the grammar topics are explained. This, without a doubt, will help you understand your
successes and correct your mistakes. In this way, your knowledge of the internal rules of
the English language will be quite deep.
In this section, you will find exercises on various grammar topics in English at elementary,
beginner, basic, intermediate, and advanced levels.
This section is divided into two: English exercises and Grammar exercises.
SHORT STORIES
We considered that it's important to understand new words for the context in a story. For
this reason, our application is dedicated to this with tree short stories
ACTIVITIES
This part is more interactive and is divided into four:
Cambridge Activities
Learn with songs
Learning with movies
Listening
The goal of the following listening exercises is that you can improve and practice your
English listening comprehension skills. These activities are divided into several groups:
Beginner (Level A1), Basic (Level A2) and Intermediate (Level B1).
RESULTS
With a series of questions to some teachers who dictate or teach this language, we were
able to obtin the approval of many teachers to implement this application in schools,
institutes, or universities; since they told us that it would be of great help both in teaching
teachers and in student learning.
