The role of translation in second language learning has long been recognized. With the advent of social collaborative platforms, its importance can be further emphasized. In this paper, we propose a social collaborative platform based on the popular MediaWiki, together with its Translation extension, that aims to align translation technology and second language learning to create a collaborative environment, thus enabling high-quality learning experiences. The platform has been developed in the WALLeT (Wiki Assisted Language Learning and Translation) project in Tor Vergata University of Rome, and it is currently being tested in two university courses, English and Spanish, for students enroled in the Languages in the Information Society Degree.

Abstract

The role of translation in second language learning has long been recognized. With the advent of social collaborative platforms, its importance can be further emphasized. In this paper, we propose a social collaborative platform based on the popular MediaWiki, together with its Translation extension, that aims to align translation technology and second language learning to create a collaborative environment, thus enabling high-quality learning experiences. The platform has been developed in the WALLeT (Wiki Assisted Language Learning and Translation) project in Tor Vergata University of Rome, and it is currently being tested in two university courses, English and Spanish, for students enroled in the Languages in the Information Society Degree.
