ANECDOTE

Learner-Created Language Content

  • Omberto and AJ record unscripted conversations with friends for authentic learning content. They share audio and text to support language learners in a community. 
  • Tony contributes Japanese podcasts, and as a native Chinese speaker, he offers Mandarin content in return. This community exchange enriches learning resources for all members.
INSIGHT

Traditional Education Harms Learners

  • Traditional schooling's hierarchy and methods harm language learning motivation and effectiveness.
  • Removing these dynamics lets motivated learners thrive in a community setting without outdated, ineffective approaches.
INSIGHT

Coerced Students Lack True Drive

  • Many students attend language schools unwillingly, driven by coercion or extrinsic reasons like tests.
  • Such students often lack true motivation to use the language fluently or to connect with its culture.
