I agree with these comments - but everyone is caught in the bind of needing to build it before you can test it. Same issue for dictionaries of all varieties too. There are very few user studies, and the effort, resources and persistence that is needed from
all concerned to get these products off the ground wears everyones out! Aside from the problem of measuring language learning….<br>

Hi John<br>
<br>
I haven't come across research into the effectiveness of these apps for language learning. I agree, it would be great to know. Imagine if, when apps are made, some sort of evaluation is included in the project, to pick up even some of the knowledge of whether
they are used after the first launch, let alone whether they achieve any sort of success in terms of learning over time. And this knowledge shared so that other groups could learn from what works, what doesn't. It seems that this sort of observation is difficult
under the common funding that lots of these app builds are done, where the money must be spent in a year. It can be difficult to get a long-term vision from funding agencies. Perhaps one of the schools/universities/peak bodies/centres of excellence would be
well placed for such a study? Any takers?<br>
<br>

Subject: [RNLD] List or review of language apps<br>
Hi there<br>
Has anyone compiled a list or review of language apps in use for Australian languages?<br>
All responses appreciated and will be passed on to a Central Australian group keen to get an overview of what’s out there and effective for languages teaching and learning – for ages 3-adult.<br>
Thanks<br>
Samantha Disbray<br>
