A. INTRODUCTION

Learning a foreign language has become a very appealing and important ability in the contemporary world. In many cases learning a foreign language involves using language learning software or computer assisted self study. Busuu is the world's largest social network for language learning, which provides 12 language courses on the web and mobile devices for more than 80 million students worldwide. Participants can register for free or can collect Premium to unlock more features such as grammar lessons, enticing modes, McGraw-Hill Education language certificates, or our adaptive Vocabulary Trainers. Busuu -is one of the most popular language learning courses around but it’s not worth paying for. The course content isn’t designed very well and there are better free alternatives. I do really like Busuu’s social features that make it easy to have your speech and writing corrected by a native speaker, but that part is free.

Language courses on busuu are carefully designed by our team of internal education experts who work hard to find the optimal way to teach language. Busuu offers a 12 language course that includes four main language skills - reading, writing, listening, speaking - from Beginner to High School level. With a high-quality language course + practice method with native speakers, we provide effective language learning products.

With a busuu community of 80 million people, you can practice language skills directly with native speakers from around the world. As part of the course, you can send writing exercises to native speakers of the language you are studying. You will receive personal feedback for your practice and get to know people from all over the world. You can enter your selected corrector to your friends list to receive feedback. Instead, you can also correct other busuu learners with your native language. Busuu is obsessed with busuu effectiveness and regularly measures the effectiveness of our language learning methodology. In 2016, Busuu conducted an independent study with a team of researchers from City University of New York and the University of South Carolina to measure the learning outcomes of our products. This study revealed that 22 busuu Premium hours are equivalent to one semester of language learning in college and each participant experienced an increase after studying with busuu for 16 hours.

C. METHODOLOGY

1. Traditional learning vs

Contrary to traditional learning, Duolingo uses its data to improve the metrics and restructure the learning experience for all learners.Due to the massive number of learners in busuu this makes it uniquely positioned to identify learning difficulties and create interventions to help users overcome them. It also uses A/B testing to evaluate possible interventions that can benefit students.

2. Translation and busuu ost busuu exercises rely on aplication from and into the target language, though some of its exercises are based on speaking or listening to sentences in the target language.

3. Language acquisition theory busuu is based on cognitive science and educational psychology research. In particular it uses active (the "testing effect"), which relies on complete sentences that have to be generated from , as well as (the ""), adaptive and personalized to users and based on the mathematical models. 4. Courses can be based on core vocabulary (word frequency), which consists of teaching frequent words first while leaving less common words for later, and makes use of multi-modal learning, a combination of senses in every lesson (e.g., listening, reading) to help learn the ideas consciously and subconsciously.

F. The Result

The results of the study are two things (initial and final test). This is the difference score which is the difference between the final and initial score. The problem with progress is the difference score, which does not take into account how much time each participant actually studied.

For example, the highest improvement in this study was a change of 341 points and it was achieved after more than 33 hours of study between 2 and 8 hours. It is expected to matter in most cases. The study time varied a lot; from 2 hours to 133 hours for the two months study. That is more reliable and the analytical measure of progress was constructed. G. Conclusion

This study on effectiveness of busuu answered some very important questions. The vast majority of the participants in the study liked the product and most of them succeeded in improving their knowledge of English. The improvement was statistically significant and on average busuu users gained a little over 8 points. Based on these findings we can say that for a completely novice user of English it would take on average 26 to 49 hours of study with busuu to cover the material for the first college semester of English. This result is based on the transformed 95% Confidence Interval of the effectiveness measure and the language test’s cut-‐ off points for 4 semester English college sequence. H. Reference
