BOSTON, March 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Learning company Houghton Mifflin Harcourt and LearnLaunch today announced the winner of the $10,000 World Languages Design Challenge to support innovative approaches to World Languages teaching and learning.
The winner, Chris Hammer, presented what was determined to be the most innovative idea that identified, articulated and resolved a challenge to help today's World Languages learners develop the linguistic skills and cultural experiences they need to become global citizens and leaders.
Chris is the creator of Charlala, a conversational language practice platform that offers teachers a new system to assess oral proficiency, monitor student progress and expose students to a variety of authentic speaking experiences with native speakers. Since launching, Charlala has grown its user base to 12,000 engaged users and is on a mission to bring its authentic interpersonal speaking practice to students and teachers around the world.
Out of a pool of nearly 40 applicants, seven finalists were selected to participate in a Finalists Pitch session on March 1 at HMH headquarters at 125 High Street in Boston. The finalists were scored based on degree of innovation, commercial viability, partnership potential, and overall impressions by a panel that included Jim O'Neill, General Manager, Core Solutions at HMH, Eileen Rudden, co-founder of LearnLaunch, and Paul Murphy, Vice President, Digital Product Management at HMH.
"HMH is committed to encouraging creative thinking and innovation when it comes to tackling education's challenges. We are thrilled to recognize Chris Hammer and his platform Charlala as the first-ever World Languages Design Challenge winner," said Murphy. "We were so impressed with the well-developed, innovative ideas presented by each of the finalists, and we look forward to working with Chris to explore bringing this effective idea to World Languages classrooms."
