Cape Town - A sixteen-year-old learner from Claremont High School has developed an innovative educational application “My Word Bank” to assist learners that experience language difficulties.
The app was presented to the matric class of Ned Doman High School in Athlone yesterday.
Benjamin Hammond said his app aims to address the barrier between conversational English and proficiency in academia through creating word banks and testing the user’s knowledge.
“We want to target all learners, but more specifically those from disadvantaged communities all over South Africa and enable them to use this educational tool to further assist and develop their languages, both conversationally and academically,” he said.
