MEMRISE

Hello folks, I have a mobile application used for language learning to introduce you today. The application is called Memrise.It is avaliable for both IOS and Android I found it very enjoyable to spend time with. This application mostly focuses on the lexicon. It is also a strong reinforcer as it asks the meaning of the same word in different ways continuously. You can also listen to the pronunciation of the new vocabulary by using this application. Let me now explain you the procedure with visual aids.

Inıtially you can pick the topic of the vocabulary which you want to learn. There are many different topics such as illness, food, first aid, maths, weather etc.You can see the definitons of the vocabulary of a specific topic on a list. A sample is below:

After you pick the topic, you can continue with the tasks which are test questions that measure your lexical knowledge and pronunciation. There are beginner and expert options according to your self confidence and again lexical knowledge.

Such a mobile application would be beneficial for language learning I think, at least in learning lexicon, because it is simple and contextualised, which will enable learners to be motivated and feel eager to learn new lexical items.
An English teacher could use this application as a warm-up task before starting a new topic. He could ask his students to complete the tasks and discuss the new vocabulary items before starting the lesson.
Here is a video from which you can make it more clear what Memrise is about. Feel free to comment your questions :)
