According to the Unescolanguage teaching promotes social inclusion, in addition to allowing greater development because it improves the brain plasticity, mental processing and analytical skills. But despite what science indicates, in Latin America we are in debt.
Some reports point out that in Latin America the level of English has improved in the last decade. However, significant challenges still exist in some countries. And that is where technology has played a fundamental role.
Several online learning systems rose to prominence during the pandemic, one of the most prominent being Duolingo. Did you know that they now have an AI-enhanced version called Duolingo Max?
How does it work?
With the AI boom, Duolingo has been using artificial intelligence to create highly personalized language lessons, English proficiency tests affordable and accessible, and more, as they comment in their official blog.
This was reinforced: leveraging GPT-4, OpenAI’s state-of-the-art technology, to maximize learning they developed Duolingo Max.
Duolingo Max is a new subscription level above Super Duolingo that gives users access to two new features and exercises: explain my answer and role play. Both are powered by the latest and most powerful generative AI technology.
What is Explain My Answer?
Sometimes when we make a mistake, we’re not exactly sure what the answer would be. correct Or maybe you are making the same mistake over and over again without understanding why. Explain My Answer gives users the ability to understand more about an answer in the lessons (whether they answered correctly or not).
After certain types of exercises, users can press a button to enter a conversation with Duo, where he will explain why the answer was correct and incorrect, and can ask for clarification or more examples.
What is Role Play?
With Role Play, users will be able to practice their real life conversation skills with characters from the world of Duolingo within the app. These exercises grant EXP and appear throughout the learning path as one of the challenges for each character that the user can access by clicking on them. What will they talk about?
They will guide you through different places and situations! You could discuss Lin’s future vacation plans, order at a cafe in Paris, go furniture shopping with Eddy, or invite a friend for a hike. While users won’t be talking to a real person, the AI behind this functionality is responsive and interactive, meaning no two conversations will be the same.
After the conversation, users will receive AI-powered feedback from Duo about the accuracy and complexity of their answers, as well as tips for future conversations.
