Intervention 1
From my interviews with people who are living in a foreign country, I found language is one of the problems. Sometimes, what they learned from text book are not native speakers speak in their daily life.
Communicating with local is a good way to learn the language but some people are afraid of talking with others because they don’t want to make mistakes. So I plan to create an intervention to encourage people to speak with native speakers.
- Stakeholders: People who need language (English in this case) help.
- Platform/medium: Online meeting, Video playing
- Intentions: To build people’s confidence in their spoken English and encourage them to have conversations with native speakers.
- Question supporting the intervention: If the compliments from native speakers about the learners’ second language proficiency can boost both their confidence?
- Activity allowing users to engage: I played two videos for 5 people.
- In the first video, a girl acted like she speaks bad English and wants to see how the English teacher responded to her.
- In the second video, a guy kept making mistakes in his conversation and teachers correct him patiently.
- Feedback:
- 2 people downloaded this language learning APP and subscribed after watching these videos.
- Another 3 people didn’t download the APP but they said they feel more confident to speak English.
