Abstract

This paper describes a general architecture and an implementation of a mobile system that helps teachers and pupils at school to learn vocabulary of a foreign language for specific lessons. The system can be setup in a flexible way that that either vocabulary from an arbitrary course book or individual vocabulary sets can be specified as input by a teacher. Accordingly it can be adapted to the curriculum of a class. Furthermore the system keeps user information at an own server for security reasons and it does not cause any additional costs, e.g. for additional vocabulary sets. Online resources like synonym and antonym services, definition services or pronunciation services are integrated into the system for providing further learning activities. Finally game based elements shall make the learning activities more attractive to the students. The progress of the learning process will be provided for pupils and teachers. The system is targeted to facilitate the processes in a German school environment.
