Mistoria: A Narrative Tool for Language Learning

Learning a new language is an incredibly valuable asset for which the benefits have been clearly presented. However, our educational institutions struggle to provide the opportunities that enable our students to achieve a meaningful level of fluency and proficiency. While there have been other approaches to bridge this discrepancy, Mistoria leverages the affordances of Second Language Acquisition Theory, Games for Learning, and Learning Analytics to realize a compelling and effective means of learning another language. With a rich narrative, adaptive dialogue system, constructive feedback, and meaningful interactions with characters, Mistoria can serve as a unique solution to the issues in language learning. Mistoria is a launching point to rekindle the interest and overcome the barriers of foreign language learning for students.
