Abstract

LingoBee is a mobile application, which was designed as a tool for language learning. This application assists learners by providing them a community for language learning. This mobile app is running on Android operation system, and using Web 2.0 technology.There are pre-existing social network applications that is used for language learning such as Livemocha. But LingoBee focuses not only on social network sites but also creating communities for language learning.In this thesis I will analyze LingoBee user data collection, in order to evaluate this application. This evaluation is based on two aspects. First, LingoBee can provide an environment for learners to develop their learning process. Second, LingoBee gives the language learning communities the necessary environment to improve. There are too many articles exists on these topics but none of them have consider these to aspects together.
