Personas for Language Learning

We use personas to define the scope and target audience for our applications. The following personas specifically apply to language learning applications. Since learning is a continuous process where we expect a user to become more proficient, we use the following approach

Personas

  1. professional user who is very motivated to learn a new language (e.g. for job)
  2. hobby-user: somebody who hase time to learn a language and does so, since she/he maybe wants to be able to speak basic phrases in the next holidays
  3. student: somebody who has to fulfill demands of teachers/pass exams

There are more possible target groups (e.g. learning in class) but currently out of scope.

Proficiency Levels

We define a coarse set of CEFR inspired levels. A level describes what a learner is supposed to be able to do in reading, listening, speaking and writing.
