App Review

WordPower is a great app which can facilitate the beginner, like me, to learn Korean. For the beginners, the app will introduce the Korean writing system, the basic Korean grammar and the basic Korean pronunciation in detail. Such data is very critical to the new learners so as to get the elementary concept about what the Korean is. Equipped with those data, the learners can learn better and more efficient with the strong basis given from the app.

 

Array of the Korean common vocabulary given in the app, from the vocabulary relevant to business and industry to the vocabulary related to the recreation and leisure, is another point I like.  There are 14 categories in total. Every Korean word has the English meaning with the Romanization, pictures. One may also listen the pronunciation of the Korean word by clicking the image of the speaker. Such arrangement can strengthen learners’ memory towards those vocabulary, especially for the visual learners and audio learners. The picture provided helps the beginners to connect the picture with Korean word. The audio given can let the learners to listen the correct pronunciation so as to perfect their Korean speaking. Learnt the vocabulary, one may turn to a test to examine their learning progress so as to know what vocabulary they are still not familiar with.

 

In short, this app is excellent for the beginners to learn Korean.

 

Personal Reflection on how mobile technologies facilitate learning

It is convinced that mobile technologies can facilitate my learning owing to the convenience and efficiency it brought. So prevalent to spot everyone owns a mobile phone with the data package in this contemporary world that learning is not refrain from the time and places. it is convenient for us to watch, read, listen the learning material at everytime and everywhere. The heavy books, the weighty magazines and the large radio could be abandoned if we have light mobile gadget in hand. Learning become very convenient and efficient with the adoption of mobile technologies.

 

The mobile technologies not only bring the efficiency and convenience, but also spur the interactive learning. It is because countless apps will have a platform for the students to share their opinions towards the app, share the study methods or communicate with one another via the app. Such practice is very good. Since it can strengthen the connection between the learners and strengthen the learning incentives as a result.
