e-Coaching et Apprentissage des Langues /N° de projet : 2015-1-FR01-KA204-015334 3.3. Thematic Area Communication Describe the solution from the perspective of eCAL Discussion Forums On the highest level there is a separate page called Duolingo Discussion where the most general things are discussed. There are sub-sections of the forum – a discussion labelled as popular, new or top can be chosen. The lower level is represented by discussion forums to each lesson where some more specific problems can be solved. Finally, the lowest level means discussion forums related to a concrete task, sentence or a word which arises during the practising in a sub-lesson. A learner can contribute in each of them or add there a new forum of course. In each case of uncertainty or unclearness these discussion forums can be used where the advanced learners or native speakers can help the beginners, discuss potential problems or disagreements, make suggestions for improvement or provide another kind of help. The learners find it beneficial. 128 Community Volunteer Forum Moderators, or forum moderators, assist users in learning how to use the various discussion forums, help answer questions, and make sure activity in Duolingo's discussion areas is in keeping with Duolingo's terms. These moderators can be identified in discussion areas by a green ring with a shield icon around their profile picture. There are two different types of forum moderator accounts: global and language-specific. Global forum moderators, also called "legacy accounts", can moderate any public forum on Duolingo. For some time, if a global moderator resigned, another moderator could be promoted into the opening. Language-specific forum moderators can moderate any public forum within a limited set of language courses. Outside of those courses, their moderator consoles disappear along with the green ring around their icons that would mark them as moderators. Course moderators are automatically forum moderators for their course. Challenges Duolingo makes learning more collaborative and fun by encouraging competition between peers. This is achieved by gamified learning in which users strive to obtain points. Duolingo offers many challenges users to get them to learn more effectively. Some of these challenges are in the form of: Leaderboards - These encourage users to keep track of their friends and attempt to surpass their points; Goals - Duolingo challenges users to reach certain goals by giving them a task to achieve every day in their reminder emails; XP - The points serve as a way to evaluate effort and to keep track of your friends' progress and effort; Translation Tiers - The tiers are a measure of a translator's rank or quality of translations, and these can serve as a way for users to translate and learn more to achieve higher tiers; and Levels - Each level requires a specific amount of points, and these can also be compared with other learners.

e-Coaching et Apprentissage des Langues /N° de projet : 2015-1-FR01-KA204-015334 3.4. Thematic Area Resources Describe the solution from the perspective of eCAL The language-learning website and app offer over 50 different language courses across 23 languages; almost 30 additional courses are in development. The app is available on iOS, Android and Windows 8 and 10 platforms with over 100 million registered users across the world. It satisfies many of the criteria related to an OER learning as listed above (Multilingual learning resources, Reviewed resources, User-created lessons, User-created vocabulary lists,etc.). Other important aspects are as per follows: Motivation The whole system of learning itself is highly motivating , it is the model of gradual improvement, monitoring of the learning skills and the feedback. There are also some minor motivating aspects, e. g. the fast tests allowing to pass a lesson easily, the limited attempts for a lesson or test, which means the limited possibilities to make a mistake during completing a lesson or test. One of the newest actualization is a Duolingo coach, which like a virtual teacher reminds a learner via email, follows the course of learning, praises or admonishes. These aspects may seem to be unimportant, but right these they are the ones that make Duolingo different from the others learning portals. The extremely high level of motivation, however, is represented by the possibility of interaction and communication. Duolingo as a communicative learning model enables to share the experience and knowledge with peers and friends via social networks. By login with Facebook or twitter to see how learner’s friends continue, compare or compete. Also at the homepage when a user is logged there is a possibility to see friends who are following or preceeding a learner. The ability to translate real-life content and stories has proven to be a strong factor in helping users remember what's learned. The next point regarding motivation is it can be uploaded to a computer and available offline, now the high level of motivation especially for the young learners is represented by the availability at modern communication devices. It is possible to learn also on the new technological advances such as iPad or iPhone or tablets and smartphones, which is highly popular these days. 129 Modern communication devices For a learner there is an option to ask for a link for their kind of device right through the Duolingo, consequently the link will be send by email. In conclusion Duolingo has the ability to immerse a learner in language learning and make him addicted to it. “Language gamification”, which forces a learner to spend his/her gametime effectively and make something productive. The ability to attract the attention to learning languages, and thus to mediate a step to a kind of further language learning is seen as the most beneficial feature of Duolingo. Another aspect appreciated by the users in public discussions on the web is the continuous and quite rapid development of the learning portal as well as the attention to all the little details. Then the feedback system is evaluated as a very active tool providing a prompt answers or help. In general the people like it. An overwhelming majority of users, who visited and tired this websites, are very enthusiastic about it. Many different opinions read on the Internet confirm the effectiveness of learning and demonstrate that the incentive system for learning on Duolingo is established very well.
