Functional specification for language learning in LEVERAGE: Deliverable DWP215
A zipped version of this document can be downloaded here.
Abstract :
This document describes the functional specification for LEVERAGE as a language learning system. The specification derives from a user needs analysis which leads to the selection of task-based language learning as an appropriate methodology for language learning in a networked environment. The user needs analysis and the pedagogical approach suggest a number of general requirements including the overall system architecture, facilities for asynchronous and synchronous communication and the provision of a resource base for the work on the task. The first task is discussed in detail followed by a brief statement about the evaluation policy used to validate the established functional specifications.
