School Library Journal (SLJ) recently posted an article on using the app Duolingo to enhance language learning in the classroom. The newly designed offshoot for schools includes a dashboard that allows teachers to track student progress. This can be a great way to encourage reluctant learners to practice their language skills in a fun environment. Plus, the app founder is committed to keeping the app free for all users. On a scale of 1-5, SLJ gave Duolingo a 5 on both its overall impression and educational utility. I've used Duolingo myself in the past, and it really is a fun and easy to use learning tool. Visit the Duolingo for Schools website for more information.
