11 Octubre 2023 - 12:00AM
Duolingo (NASDAQ:DUOL), the world’s leading mobile learning
platform, shares its latest product vision that harnesses its
proven, gamified teaching methods to expand to new subjects: Music
and Math. Company leaders debut the new experiences at Duocon, the
largest free global event at the intersection of language,
learning, and technology.
“Duocon is about celebrating our millions of
dedicated learners worldwide,” says Luis von Ahn, co-founder and
CEO. “We are focused on building the best education possible and
making it universally available. With our expansion into Music and
our updates to Math, we’re one step closer to that goal.”
Expanding beyond languageIn a
headline talk, Severin Hacker, co-founder and CTO, delves into the
company’s expansion into Math and Music, subjects that transcend
cultures and people, just like language. He details updates to the
Math course, which will include more advanced real-world math
skills, including calculating tips and hourly wage, to sharpen
adult learners’ mental math. And Engineering Director Vanessa
Jameson offers a look under the hood of Duolingo’s brand-new Music
course. Jameson shares how the company approached music education
while maintaining Duolingo’s signature, gamified interface.
Teaching betterEnglish is the
number one language learned on Duolingo because English proficiency
often opens doors to better job or education opportunities. To help
these learners advance towards their goals, Duolingo announces a
new Immersive Learning Experience for Advanced English, a
curriculum designed for English learners at more advanced levels of
language proficiency.
Bozena Pajak, VP of Learning and Curriculum, also
walks audiences through the Duolingo Method, Duolingo’s proven
teaching principles that guide content creation, lesson design, and
course development. Learning experts unveil new features designed
to improve learning outcomes in some of our biggest courses,
including:
- DuoRadio, dynamic, podcast-style audio lessons in select
language courses.
- A game-changing tool for learning the unique writing systems of
Japanese and Mandarin, some of the fastest-growing languages on the
app.
More fun than everDuolingo’s
global community of more than 74 million monthly active learners
complete 9 billion exercises a week. Product experts at Duolingo
reveal upcoming features and content designed to make learning on
the new multi-subject app even more delightful, such as:
- Adventures, a new mini-game where
learners play as Duolingo characters and put their language skills
to the test in interactive scenarios.
- A new season of The Duolingo French
Podcast, hosted by Oscar-winning actress Ariana DeBose, tells the
untold story of 1920s dance icon Josephine Baker—who was also a spy
for the French Resistance.
An exclusive interview with Malala
And finally, Duolingo co-founder and CEO, Luis von Ahn, hosts a
wide-ranging conversation with Nobel Peace Prize laureate Malala
Yousafzai about her work advocating for the right of all children
