DLL Words 2.5

In this application you will find vocabulary from the English Direct Method coursebook series. The vocabulary is organized into two categories: the coursebook and the units contained within it, enabling you to locate the terms learned in your language courses more easily.

The Words app supports memorizing the meanings of individual words and practicing correct pronunciation. Feedback is presented as an emoticon.

Vocabulary and pronunciation are central elements of foreign language learning. Pronunciation errors can be entertaining, but they can also lead to misunderstandings and complications that are best avoided. This application aims to make English phonetics more approachable.

How does it work?

• Users can listen to the correct pronunciation of English words, recorded by native speakers.
• The meaning of each lexical item is illustrated with a picture to aid understanding.
• The app supports learning both meanings and pronunciation. Users can record their own pronunciation, listen to it, and evaluate accuracy. Feedback categories include “very good,” “good,” “average,” or encouragement to continue practicing.

New technology in language learning

• The Words app leverages current technology to enhance language acquisition.
• It enables language practice on a smartphone, anytime and anywhere, with an internet connection sufficient to start a lesson.

Good accent

Learning a foreign language involves more than vocabulary and grammar; a clear accent also matters. Accurate pronunciation helps the listener understand you more easily, whether you are speaking with native or non-native English speakers.
