Automated Exercise Generation In Mobile Language Learning, Rayo Verweij Jan 2020

Automated Exercise Generation In Mobile Language Learning, Rayo Verweij

Senior Projects Spring 2020

The Language Lion is an Android application that teaches basic Dutch to English speakers. While mobile language learning has increased exponentially in popularity, course creation is still labor-intensive. By contrast, the Language Lion uses a map of Dutch to English lexemes, a context-free grammar, and a modified version of the SimpleNLG sentence realizer to automatically generate semi-random translation exercises for the student. Each component is evaluated individually to find and analyze the particular roadblocks in automated exercise generation for mobile language learning.
