To find out how effective language learning applications allow mobile users to study a new language anywhere and anytime, Shawn Loewen, a professor at Michigan State University (MSU), recently conducted a study focusing on a popular language learning app and elearning platform first launched in 2007, to see if it really worked at teaching a new language.
“Despite the fact that millions globally are already using language learning apps, there is a lack of published research on their effect on speaking skills,” Loewen said. “Actually there are no other studies that have researched mobile language learning apps in this way. Therefore, this study makes an important contribution to the field.”

In the study, which is published in Foreign Language Annals, 85 undergraduate students at MSU used the app for 12 weeks to learn Spanish. At the beginning of the study, the students took a pretest to examine their existing oral proficiency (熟练), vocabulary and grammar in Spanish. After 12 weeks, the 54 students who completed all study requirements took the same test again to see how much knowledge they had gained.
The study showed that nearly all the students improved in their Spanish language knowledge and ability to communicate. “The result proves that using the app can advance the development of oral communication skills and not just grammar and vocabulary, as a previous study had shown,” Loewen said.

As one might expect, learning gains were related to the amount of time students used. The more time the learners used, the more progress they made. Also, no matter how convenient and effective a language learning app may be, what might be the most important is that learners stick with it.
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Shawn Loewen (肖恩·洛温)教授通过研究发现语言学习应用程序不仅能促进使用者语法和词汇的发展,而且能够促进其口语交际能力的发展。

If you've been studying English for a while, you've probably worked out that there is more than one type of “English”. Everyone knows English is the national language of the UK and the US, but do you know that India has the second largest number of English speakers, followed by Nigeria?
Like most languages, the two main factors (因素) that influence the way people speak English are geographical (where they are in the world) and social (the way their parents,friends and other people they talk to speak). That is why in the UK, people from London speak differently from those who live in Manchester, but there are also lots of different accents within London, which depend on social class.

Australian English and South African English are good examples of how English is different all over the world. These accents sound “funny” to some other speakers of English, because they have been more influenced by other languages and accents. For example, Australian English is strongly influenced by Irish convicts (罪犯) sent by the British to Australia, who also brought their slang with them. Australian English is also influenced by Aboriginal (澳大利亚土著的) English, so we hear words like “Kangaroo” and “Billabong” (a large pool of water in the outback).

So how should a Chinese student choose which accent to use? Well, to an Australian like me, British English sounds more academic and educated than American English. However, American English is cooler—it's the language of popular culture and blockbuster movies.
In the end, the choice is yours—just remember to be consistent (始终如一的).
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了英语在全球的多样性及其影响因素,并建议中国学生学习英语时要找到适合自己的口音并始终如一地坚持下去。
