In this paper we present Do You Speak Holo?, an application for Microsoft HoloLens co-designed with linguistics experts that aims to facilitate the learning process of a foreign language for children and adolescents with language disorders (LD). The application includes several educational activities, aimed at improving both vocabulary and morpho-syntactic aspects of the language through the interaction with virtual content immersed in the real world. The application includes a virtual assistant, which acts as a virtual teacher and guides the user step by step in the comprehension and execution of the activities.

Abstract

In this paper we present Do You Speak Holo?, an application for Microsoft HoloLens co-designed with linguistics experts that aims to facilitate the learning process of a foreign language for children and adolescents with language disorders (LD). The application includes several educational activities, aimed at improving both vocabulary and morpho-syntactic aspects of the language through the interaction with virtual content immersed in the real world. The application includes a virtual assistant, which acts as a virtual teacher and guides the user step by step in the comprehension and execution of the activities.
