The authors of this paper conducted an experiment into the use of Duolingo School among university students in order to learn French as a completely new language. Duolingo is a modern smart phone application for foreign language learning. Its motto is “Free language education for the world”. The instructions in Duolingo were in English (the language that at the time of the experiment the students had been learning for a considerable amount of time). They were asked to do at least three halfanhour lessons until they had earned 225 points. This mini course was followed by a 10 minute selfconstructed French test and a selfconstructed short questionnaire. The conference paper will be a presentation of the results of this experiment which included 86 French language course participants, 66 test participants and 64 survey participants. All the participants were students from the Faculty of Teacher Education in Zagreb studying to become either primary school teachers of English or teachers of core subjects in primary school grades 1 4, teachers of only core subjects in primary school grades 14 or nursery school teachers. The presentation of the results will be focused on the quantitative analysis offering insight into the parallels between the type of the course, the achievement in the test and the variables from the survey. |
