Online language self-study platform

Abstract

With the globalization and development of information technology, knowing and being fluent in other languages is one of the essential requirements, which will open up many opportunities and advantages in studying and working. Therefore, the need of learning foreign languages has become more and more popular, in which self-studying and practicing are the important factors leading to success in learning any foreign language.

This thesis aimed to build an online platform that makes language self-studying easier and more convenient. The platform is not intended to replace traditional language-learning methods; rather, it is designed as a supplement to make language self-studying less monotonous and encourage regular practice.

The thesis researched the effectiveness of different language-learning methods from scientific articles and published documents. The implementation of the thesis applied full-stack technologies and cloud services from AWS to build an online language self-study platform. The product of this thesis is a platform that has basic features such as learning languages by watching videos and listening to music. The platform also enables practicing vocabulary with flashcards and gamification modes. In addition, it includes built-in tools to support translation and pronunciation of words and sentences.
