General Plan

About

We are a group of ambitious students from the Department of Computer Engineering. Our project is on an English learning platform for Turkish speakers. We will work on this project as a team of 9 software engineers. We aim to produce an elaborate application by the end of the term, in 14 weeks.

Project Description

Our project aims to create an application where Turkish speakers can learn English words with quizzes and accumulate points in a time interval, much like Duolingo. The users will be grouped by their English levels (e.g. advanced).

Users will be able to create their own quizzes and share them with others. The creation of quizzes will utilize Linked Data, such as Lexvo, to get the words, senses, and translations. The users will see words that are predicted to be just in their reach, i.e. not too easy/difficult, in their quizzes. Quizzes should be in multiple formats: 1) matching an English word with its Turkish counterpart, 2) vice versa, and 3) matching an English word with a sense out of choices. An example for the 1st quiz would be matching "demure" with "ağırbaşlı" out of choices "serin", "ağırbaşlı" and "temiz". An example for the 3rd quiz would be matching "demure" with "reserved, modest, and shy" out of choices "neither warm nor very cold", "reserved, modest, and shy" and "free from dirt or impurities".

There will be a forum where users can ask questions and get answers from other users. Users should link their questions to Lexvo and people can search previous questions based on words and see related question posts as a result.
