Potentials of Learning a New Foreign Language Using Duolingo App: Opinions of Croatian University Students
The introduction discusses the importance of multilingualism and foreign language competences in EU citizens. This is followed by a description of the Duolingo app and of mobile-assisted language learning. The results of earlier research studies by the same authors that dealt with the use of mobile applications in foreign language learning are also discussed, and the requirements that had to be met in the new study are presented here. The authors used a self-constructed French test and asked the participants in the study (students from the Faculty of Teacher Education at the University of Zagreb) what they thought (in a self-constructed short questionnaire, containing 14 statements) about the potentials of learning French as a completely new language through Duolingo app. The results showed that the respondents had an overall positive opinion about the quality and potentials of learning a new foreign language through Duolingo app (it lowers anxiety, it is efficient for learning correct pronunciation, memorizing new words, practicing grammar and structure drills). The conclusion states that the initial hypothesis was confirmed and gives implications for further research.
