Will technological advances keep impacting language learning positively?

This is a question that Philippa Wentzel, Curriculum Team Lead of the popular online language resource Lingoda, attempts to answer in her discussion with Benny.

In this interview, Philippa explores topics such as how academic learning can be unsatisfying, how Lingoda relies on UX analysis to make sure they stay on track with learners’ needs, and the pros and cons of using technology in language learning.

Philippa also explains how Lingoda offers learners control over their language learning and curriculum by using a “choose your own path” approach.
