<p class="MsoNormal">We are looking at investing some funds to create online language lessons in Arrernte. We have looked at a few platforms and are interested to hear feedback from others in the language teaching world as to their experiences.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have looked at <b>‘Memrise’</b> – which looks good from the point of view of accessibility, ease of use and vocabulary learning, however we would like something which is more sophisticated and allows learners to learn to build sentences.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>‘Say something in’</b> <span style="color:black">looks like it uses a lot of the same principles as master-apprentice, like focussing on intensive speaking and listening rather than reading and writing. This one has the advantage that
the learner can listen and repeat without needing to look, which is great for using on car trips, or while bike riding or walking.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color:black">‘Duolingo’</span></b><span style="color:black"> appeals the most to Kumalie Riley, Arrernte teacher, who says it is most like the Arrernte teaching she is familiar with in that it uses flashcards and has a focus
on speaking and listening as well as reading and writing.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">We have tried to contact both Duolingo and Say Something In but have received no communication in response.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">We are interested to hear the experiences of others – is it likely that we will hear back from them? Has anyone had experience with putting a language into one of these platforms?
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
