Technology Design Application Passive language learning application design text text Sadler, Randall W. Bishop, Hugh Yang, Yinghua 2018-08-14T21:37:14Z 2018-08-14T21:37:14Z 2020-08-15T09:15:30Z 2017-07-18 2017-08 This thesis proposes the term “passive language learning” and presents four digital language learning products designed and collaboratively implemented by the author. All of the four applications promote learning a foreign language passively by using creative application design to naturally integrate language learning into people’s daily interaction with the rest of the world. This is an endeavor to make second language acquisition easier and more enjoyable. The thesis first includes a literature review and then presents the four passive language learning applications accordingly: a grammar mistake tracking system called Alang operating on any smartwatch paired with any mobile phone; a foreign accent visualization iOS application called NoAccent, an international traveling and learning web application called Fling, and a language learning platform called FlipWord which integrates language learning into people’s daily web browsing. At the end of the thesis, the author discusses the limitations of the four applications and future work in passive language learning.
