Master of Design
‘Speak English’ explores connections between design thinking and cooperative language learning. The project involved designing a learning system to help English language learners improve fluency through a process of ‘problem framing’. The system is intended to improve communicative English competence by utilising the motivational, risk-taking, ideational and iterative aspects of design thinking. Prototypes of instructional language learning materials (including an app, a learners’ booklet and worksheets) illustrate how the system may work.
