Language Lab
Description
We aim to give you the opportunity to acquire a foreign language by immersing yourself in a target-language-only environment that simulates the way humans have been learning languages as children for thousands of years — through listening, understanding, physical response, and positive reinforcement. We start with listening comprehension only. No multiple choice questions, no “gap-fill” exercises. Just you and the language in a completely immersive target-language environment.
What Works Well
This app requires the user to complete tasks of increasing complexiity with instructions that are entirely in the target language.

Level of Interactivity
What does this mean?
For instance, a Level 1 would be a more passive experience where you will be able to look around freely, but you will not be triggering or interacting with things in the environment. A Level 2 will provide some level of interactivity but only very basically, such as being able to move between different scenes in the experience. A Level 3 will start to incorporate some more complex interactions using a remote or controller to trigger things within the scenes. A Level 4 would be a fully interactive experience but something you are still guided through. Finally, a Level 5 would be a fully interactive experience that gives you complete control of how to use it.
