Interactive Kinect Application for Learning English Vocabulary
Article No.: 14, Pages 1 - 5
Abstract
This paper presents a proposal to contribute to improve the level of English during the teaching-learning process in El Salvador. The English Proficiency Index Report states that El Salvador is located in position number 56 out of a total of 100 countries, with its corresponding indicator of low level of English. We have designed an Interactive Kinect Application for Learning English Vocabulary. The proposed software is aimed at collaborating with the teaching work carried out from the classrooms, but in a way that is more attractive, motivating and entertaining for elementary level students that could facilitate the learning of English using Advanced Interaction Technologies and Kinect Sensor. This aforementioned Kinect Application will be used in elementary public and private school in the capital city of El Salvador.
