The field of Speech and Language Therapy has seen great success utilising a number of paper based systems to help young children experiencing difficulty in language acquisition and understanding language. These systems employ card and paper based illustrations which are combined to create scenarios for children in order to expose them to new vocabulary in context. While this success has encouraged the use of such a system for a long time, problems have been identified that need addressing. In this context, systems are desired to complement the structured therapy session, in order to aid the Speech and Language Professional (SLP). In response to this, a plethora of mobile apps have flooded the market. The majority of these apps attempt to mirror current paper based methods. In this paper, a prototype web application that aims to provide a novel solution to language learning in Speech and Language Therapy is presented. The system applies a learning algorithm derived from Spaced Repetition research, with a view to aid language retention, augmenting the memorisation process.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
