Project details...	This project involves developing applications that support the teaching and learning of English Language for the primary and secondary schools. Some of the applications to be developed include role-playing games, interactive storybooks, virtual worlds.

Situation

What was the setting in which this case study occurred?

Currently, most of the students are not predisposed to using English Language in situations beyond the stipulated English lessons. Students are also not fluent in speaking the language, despite them going through basic 10-year education using the English medium.

We hope to study how these applications can change the way language is taught and learnt in the classrooms. With digital technology being readily available, more opportunities for the usage of English language in authentic situations can be created for the students. Individualised feedback can also be given to the students to inform them of their progress and therefore they can decide the next steps to take. We also want to observe how teachers' classroom practices will evolve and improve with the introduction of these tools. Another possible area of study in this project would be the use of these applications for formative assessment purposes.
