Ⅰ.阅读理解
Language learning apps are very popular now and offer opportunities to learn vocabulary and practice grammar. But there has been a discussion about just how effective such apps can be.
Among the most popular apps are Duolingo and Busuu. Previous rearch found positive results on the u of them. But the apps mainly concentrated on study with learners who had signed up for language cours and they only worked as afterschool support, so the results were not always reliable.

Busuu provides learning materials for 12 different languages. It offers a special model where some content is available for free while some content is not. We find that its urs are an even mix of men and women. More than half consider themlves to be at the begin
ner level as there is a decrea in urs as their language levels go up. Most people u the app becau of personal interest, or becau they want to study or live abroad. Female urs tend to u it less often but for longer periods of time than male urs.
Getting any feedback on Busuu depends on whether your answer is correct or not. While it is helpful, this is not the sort of feedback language teachers prefer, as it does not explain why the answer is right or wrong. In spite of this, feedback in the app is very highly rated.
More than 92% of respondents state that the app has met their expectations and 86% rate the app very highly. In fact, more than 80% of the urs surveyed strongly agree that using the app has helped them improve their knowledge of the language they are learning.
Besides, language learning apps also create an environment where mistakes are only known to the urs, and this can address五泉镇 the performance anxiety that many learners suffer from when asked to speak a foreign language. So language teachers should encou
rage their students to u them to do the grammar work, leaving precious class time for more language communication.
