I have created an innovative service which makes it possible to represent people's linguistic skills in real time, to immerse themselves in a foreign language more easily, and for the trainer to more easily personalize their lessons.
This project to promote my research is supported by the University of Franche-Comté, but also by DECABFC and Pays de Montbéliard Agglomeration.
Ergolang is a single solution and innovative, dedicated to learning and consuming content in foreign languages.
Take the example of Julie, who works in a large French company. She did not get the job she wanted to advance in her career: her level of foreign languages was insufficient, despite all the hours of training she took. It was Klaus, a German, who got the job.
It is to help Julie in her project that I decided to spread my innovation beyond the walls of my research laboratory.
Indeed, too often, traditional language training courses struggle to take into account the personal or professional needs of the learners, the desires and the knowledge acquired; they require considerable extra work and time.
How Ergolang can improve the level of English proficiency?
Today, it takes 400 hours of training for an employee to go from an intermediate level (B1) to an operational level (C1). In Europe, France is 26th out of 29 in English proficiency.
Youtube, Netflix, Amazon Prime… While the distribution of American series explodes; why shouldn't we progress in English while having fun?
Indeed, Ergolang allows you to watch series, read web pages or books in the text, right now. This project offers personalized exercises related to the content you consume.
For this, Ergolang just translates the words you don't know. Then, he can suggest content adapted to your language level. And to revise, it produces personalized exercises.
For the project to develop, the company must continuously improve theuser experience, to offer the general public the possibility of feeling comfortable in any language.
Within a year, and with the collaboration of the training centers, we will contribute to raising the level of English of the French. And Julie will get the job she deserves!
And within 3 years, we will develop these innovations internationally, to better communicate and understand each other, and thus contribute to a Europe of peace.
