Helmer Strik, Polina Drozdova, Catia Cucchiarini · 2013
In the GOBL project we develop and test small web-based mini games for low-educated and disadvantaged beginning learners of Dutch, English, and French.An innovative aspect of this project is that we incorporate speech and language technology (SLT) to practice speaking skills.The present paper explains the notion of mini games employed in the project and the advantages of their use with respect to the target group.We then present the first results of the project concerning pedagogical and user requirements, based on the literature and user-based research.We then introduce our plans for the immediate future.
