Design as a tool in Language Learning - Iris Senel | PG 2019

Do you know which type of a language learner are you? Are you an auditory or visual language learner? Most language learners are “visual learners”. Visual learners tend to use apps, books or online dictionaries. In our fast-changing world, even the news are more often conveyed digitally now. Naturally, the linguistic world is adapting to the ever-changing trends but who’s aware of it? During this talk, the audience will learn about the history of language apps, how the interface of these apps changed within a time frame and why design is the strongest tool in language learning. Inevitably, the design of these apps are affecting your language learning process. How a language app is designed can lead you to learn a scoop of a subject proficiently or even give up on learning a certain language. During this talk, we will evaluate some leading apps in the linguistic sector and their designs. Iris Senel is a Linguistic Designer and the founder of Greek Turkish Words.
