Babbel helps kids practice and improve the following skills:
Working Memory: Remembering and using what you have heard to complete a task.
Students interact with vocabulary and audio of native speakers and then are asked to answer questions regarding what they have just learned. Students will need to keep the vocabulary and phrases in their working memory in order to successfully complete the lessons. Students who struggle with this skill can start with a low level of commitment and work their way up to longer lessons as their Working Memory is strengthened.
Focus: Getting started and then maintaining attention and effort to tasks.
Foreign languages help students practice their focus skills when they are connecting vocabulary and grammatical concepts in their native language into their target one. Further, focus is strengthened by completing lessons for the duration the students have committed to. Students who struggle with focusing can start with a small amount of time for their lessons and work their way up to longer sessions as their language skills improve.
