EduLang

What is it about?

EduLang, a multilingual library app, bridges the language gap through storytelling. The personalized book library provides learners with culturally sensitive, relatable and learning level appropriate content. Our app uses interactive multilingual books to help learners in grades K-5 from non-English speaking families learn English. Edulang is targeted towards low-resource language speakers with an aim to enable English language learning while continuing to preserve the learner's native language proficiency. Low-resource languages are languages that are marginalized in the internet, media, government communications, and translation systems. While over four billion people speak low-resource languages worldwide, translations and original content publication in these languages are often overlooked in digital media. It is scientifically proven that leveraging a person’s strength in their native language accelerates their learning of another language. Unfortunately, for speakers of marginalized languages and dialects, it is a challenge to find bilingual content in their native language to help them learn English. EduLang solves this by allowing ESL students to read, translate, and create bilingual books in their native language and English.
