App Teaches English Through Video Gaming Scenarios

FluentWorlds recently partnered with Topica EdTech Group, a leading online education provider in Southeast Asia, to introduce their jointly produced product — Topica Ivy Native 3D — allowing thousands of students to learn to speak the English language in a 3D context.

Non-native English speakers throughout the world are now able to learn English simply by cueing up an app on their smartphone.

The programs engage with the user as if they were video games. And, according to press materials, “company’s proprietary speech recognition and accent reduction feature is revolutionizing language learning.”
