English-language learning students can
practice speech and perfect pronunciation from the comfort of their
own homes with Ola.
TORONTO, June 17, 2021 /CNW/ - Lingo Media
Corporation (TSXV: LM) (OTC: LMDCF) (FSE: LIMA) ("Lingo Media")
subsidiary, ELL Technologies Ltd., DBA
as Everybody Loves Languages ("Everybody
Loves Languages" or the "Company"), an
EdTech company that is 'building a multilingual world' through
innovative online technologies and solutions, announced the release
of Ola, a mobile app developed to help English-language
learners perfect their speaking skills. Ola provides over
200 hours of speaking practice and is offered to
all Everybody Loves Languages' English
students.
Using one of the largest digital content libraries in the world,
the Ola app delivers effective and practical learning
exercises for users who are on the go. The app's speech recognition
technology allows students to analyze pronunciation and simulate
real-life conversation scenarios with characters modeled using
audio from native English speakers.
"With Ola, Everybody Loves
Languages strengthens its track record as an innovator in
English-language learning," said Gali Bar-Ziv, President
& CEO of Lingo Media. "Ola, which means wave in Spanish,
represents the continuous endeavor and fluidity of
language-learning. The app uses AI-based feedback to support
students in mastering a new language. It caters to the convenience
that modern learners expect from their mobile devices, allowing
them to learn from wherever they are."
The app launched with two major features,
Speak2Me and Studio. Using Speak2Me, students
can select their skill level, choose an avatar, and have a dialogue
with their virtual conversation partner, Lucy. The second feature,
Studio, allows students to perfect their pronunciation
skills and expand their vocabulary through repetition of simple
phrases. Both features provide students with color-coded
feedback, indicating where they did well and where they can
improve. "For many students, speaking is the most dreaded part
of learning a new language," said Mark
Beyer, Director of Pedagogy at Everybody Loves
Languages. "The issue is further complicated with online
learning, where students can't always find opportunities to
practice with their peers. The Ola App helps students with
self-study, providing them with additional support while also
allowing teachers to monitor their progress via our LMS."
Bolstered by decades of expertise within the product
innovation team at Everybody Loves Languages, Ola
leads the industry with its comprehensive approach to learning
beyond the classroom. For more information about the Ola
App, visit olalearn.com.
