Context-based learning in a virtual environment experiment

Join our research team as a participant to explore new language learning methods and learn some Russian.



Imagine you are visiting a Russian speaking city. In preparation for your visit you may have learned a few Russian words and phrases, but this is pretty much the extent of your Russian. Your goal is to get to a city center. To get there you have to interact with native speakers using a very limited vocabulary you have learnt.

We have constructed a simple virtual web based environment that simulates such a situation and invite you to participate in this journey. While on this journey, you will have to guess a lot of what is being said based on the limited vocabulary we give you and learn new words and phrases along the way.

Please join us to participate in a research project that aims to develop new effective methods to help adults acquire new language in a virtual/web environment.
