Learning Content Spanish Vocabulary
Learning Outcomes Knowledge
The adult learners will be able to:

·       Explain the meaning of around 15 basic Spanish words in the context of a school and a house

 
Skills
The adult learners will be able to:

·       Pronounce those Spanish words since they can be listened to in the app in Spanish

 
Competences
The adult learners will be able to:

·       Study independently and with initiative since the selection of different furniture is necessary in the app to learn about the meaning of the word in Spanish

 
Activities provided Virtually go through a school and a house. By looking at certain objects such as a TV, a chair or a painting and clicking on them, one will hear the Spanish word and one will be able to read the Spanish and English word at the same time.
Added value
for low-skilled/-qualified adults		 Listening to new vocabulary and seeing the objects while hearing the words helps low-skilled adults to learn a new language more easily with the connection sight and hearing. The small number of new words to learn in Spanish in the app can also help the target group to focus and not be overwhelmed since the object can also be clicked on as often as needed.

STRENGTHS WEAKNESSES
·       Hearing the vocabulary

·       Seeing the object while getting to know the Spanish words for it

·       Interactive learning environment

 ·       Very limited vocabulary offered (Only two settings (school and house) with a few with a few objects)

·       Very artificial set-up (rooms do not look real)

·       Voice has slight American accent while pronouncing the words
OPPORTUNITIES THREATS
·       Connecting visual and listening skills

·       Fun while learning new words

 ·       No added value for people who want to get to know vocabulary from different settings

·       Missing the feeling of “virtual reality” might lead to less interest in the app

·       Learning vocabulary with a “wrong” pronunciation”
Ideal application/utilization  

Context of ideal application

 In a language learning environment for low-skilled individuals-

  

Instructions for preparation

 One must look at the different object and click on it, to receive audio and written words.

 

 Instructions for mentoring

 After the use of the App, review which words were learned.

 

Do’s and don’ts

Do not use the App for people who already know Spanish since there is no option to go to different levels and the amount of new words might be quite small. Highly qualified people might not get a benefit from the app.
