How can you use the latest digital technology to create an
environment in which people can learn European languages while
performing a meaningful real-world task and experiencing the
cultural aspect of learning to cook European dishes? This book
explains how to do this from A to Z, covering how a real-world
digital environment for language learning was designed, built and
researched. The project makes language learning motivational and
fun by tapping into people's interest in both cooking and
technology - you can learn a language while cooking and interacting
with a speaking digital kitchen. The kitchens provide spoken
instructions in the foreign language on how to prepare European
cuisine. Digital sensors are inserted in or attached to all the
kitchen equipment and ingredients, so the digital kitchen detects
what learners are doing and gives them feedback. Learners are also
able to communicate with the kitchens and can ask for help via
photos and videos if they don't understand any foreign language
words. Based on two research grants, the book provides five
research studies showing the learning experiences of users in five
European countries. The book explains the principles and procedures
involved in the project, enabling others to design and implement a
real-world digital learning environment in the same way. It
includes numerous photographs of the system in use and evidence of
how and what 250 users actually learnt.
