Duolingo engages students inside and outside of the classroom in interactive language learning!

This is a great way for students or others who want to learn a new language or improve their language skills. This app is great and easy to use and navigate. Teachers can access progress to see where students do well in and what they might need help!

I find that this is a very helpful resource.

As a teaching tool, I think duolingo is a fun homework assignment. Students can use their cell phones, smart devices, or computers to access duolingo, and can even do more lessons on their free time. I use duolingo myself, and I find it a fun activity to do when I want a break from social media. I really like how they also have a "streak" in duolingo, which tracts how many days in a row you have completed a language lesson. This can help motivate students to keep their streak and to do at least one quick lesson a day to keep their streak. You can also add friends and compare scores for the week, which can also motivate students to have the highest score in their class! In every language class, it is important that students constantly communicate in the target language. However, some days students may not want to talk due to stress, fatigue, etc. I think duolingo can be used in class as a fun yet educational break if students are struggling to keep up with conversation that day. They can work on their scores and achievements in the app while also getting to relax and not worry about their participation for the day. Even for those who are not currently language students, duolingo is a fun app that anyone can enjoy!
