4th year thesis project designed to create a phyigtal experience for students and teachers to more efficiently teach and boost pronunciation literacy.The following links lead to the process book and video from INDS-4007's final assignments. They are also being used here for presentational and proof of concept purposes. External sources used throughout thesis are cited in the process book.

“The purpose behind this thesis project is to respond to the unchanged, underserved, and unintuitively taught field of pronunciation in language learning; this systemic oversight causes pronunciation to be difficult for language learners and lower motivation for students to expand on their linguistic skills (Gilakjani, 2011, pp. 74-81). Hence, this project creates a phygital experience consisting of a website for cloud-based classroom learning and an in-class game kit to bolster phonetic literacy, in a speculative collaboration with fundamental-edtech platform Busuu.”
