Abstract:
How can you use the latest digital technology to create an environment in
which people can learn European languages while performing a meaningful
real-world task and experiencing the cultural aspect of learning to cook
European dishes? This book explains how to do this from A to Z, covering how a
real-world digital environment for language learning was designed, built and
researched.
The project makes language learning motivational and fun by tapping into
people's interest in both cooking and technology – you can learn a language
while cooking and interacting with a speaking digital kitchen. The kitchens
provide spoken instructions in the foreign language on how to prepare European
cuisine. Digital sensors are inserted in or attached to all the kitchen
equipment and ingredients, so the digital kitchen detects what learners are
doing and gives them feedback. Learners are also able to communicate with the
kitchens and can ask for help via photos and videos if they don't understand
any foreign language words.
Based on two research grants, the book provides five research studies showing
the learning experiences of users in five European countries. The book
explains the principles and procedures involved in the project, enabling
others to design and implement a real-world digital learning environment in
the same way. It includes numerous photographs of the system in use and
evidence of how and what 250 users actually learnt.
