I am Charlene, a graphic designer based in Singapore, pursuing both her Diploma and Bachelor (Hons) in Design Communication at Lasalle College of the Arts. With an interest for storytelling and visual narratives, I enjoy being able to discover the different forms of narratives whether through visual, novels or the use of video games as a medium of presentation, with a common goal of striving for improvements that surpasses my previous efforts.
Lost Words
An experimentational idea of combining gamification and game-based learning for language learning.
Learning a second language can be both frustrating and challenging even for long-time adult learners. Many of today’s Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) platforms are all mixed with gamification in hopes to motivate learners by promoting learning experience as a fun and engaging activity through these platforms. However, recent studies show that the duration of engagement and activities on these apps are gradually declining amongst intermediate learners and beyond, suggesting a potential decrease in learners’ engagement.
