3. HOW DOES IT WORK? 1. Set up a profile 2. Choose a target language 3. Set weekly goals At the end of the week you will be given a test that must be passed, if you don’t complete the test then you will retake it. This app makes learning a language more of a game than a lesson.

6. HOW DOES IT FIT IN WITH THE LACK CURRICULUM? Learning Centered  Duolingo revolves on the principle that people using this app/site will be able to learn a language.  It helps students learn on their own time making it more accessible with their learning schedule. Assessment Centered  Students must set goals in which they need to meet.  Duolingo makes students test their skills at the end of each unit  If they do not complete the test than they will have to retake the unit.  Every unit incorporates fun games that, if completed correctly, move the student further into the lesson plan

7. CONTINUATION… Community Centered  Duolingo provides situations in which you see mistakes others have made so you don’t make the same  It helps you understand other languages in order to break down barriers between people who don’t speak the same language  You can see how other’s may have translated a sentence Knowledge Centered  Duolingo shares a new way of learning a language for free to make people more knowledgeable about other cultures  This is important because with no language barriers information can be shared easily  Organizes content on skill level

8. WHY IS IT BETTER THAN SITTING IN A CLASSROOM?  Easy access  Adolescents spend the majority of their time on their phones or on the internet  Gives them the chance to plan their own curriculum  Lets them learn on their time
