Pronunciation App
We developed an advanced voice recognition app that listened to learners, analyzed their pronunciation, and provided real-time feedback. With scores and actionable advice, learners could refine their accents and track their progress. Both American and British English were supported, offering learners flexibility.
The Context
At the direct request of the board, our CEO was brought in to support Worldwide Aeros in strengthening its global positioning and advancing high-stakes deal opportunities. The engagement focused on developing strategic marketing systems to support multi-million dollar aerospace and defense contracts, crafting investor- and government-facing messaging, and training internal teams to align with international growth objectives.
The work contributed to solidifying Aeros’ role as a competitive force in next-generation flight technology and ensured the internal infrastructure could support both visibility and sustained expansion on the global stage.
Education is evolving, and so are the expectations of learners. When we proposed a collaboration with a Reader’s Digest affiliated company in Mexico, the timing was ideal. Having long been a global leader in the publishing industry, Reader’s Digest is renowned for its dedication to high-quality content and has earned numerous accolades for its contributions to literacy and education worldwide. They were now keen to modernize their operations and extend their legacy by venturing into the realm of e-learning, with a focus on creating a world-class English language platform for Spanish speakers.
Their vision wasn’t just to digitize, it was to establish an innovative, high-quality learning experience that would reflect their heritage of excellence. This ambitious initiative aimed to set new benchmarks in the industry. We worked hand-in-hand with their team to design an engaging, interactive, and highly effective platform. By integrating advanced voice recognition tools, immersive simulations, and creative storytelling, we combined decades of pedagogical expertise with cutting-edge technology to deliver an entirely new way to learn English, ensuring that learners could achieve their goals with confidence and clarity.
Challenges
The project’s scope was as broad as it was challenging:
- Design an English learning program covering CEFR levels A1 to C1, plus Business English.
- Create an engaging platform that caters to professional, academic, and personal learners while preparing them for globally recognized certifications like TOEFL and IELTS.
- Build a comprehensive e-learning ecosystem with automated onboarding, payments, and subscriptions.
- Offer advanced interactivity, including voice recognition, simulations, and flashcards, to ensure learners remain engaged and motivated.
- Protect intellectual property through copyright registration, ensuring global security for digital content.
The task was clear: transform English learning into an immersive experience that learners would love, educators would trust, and administrators could manage seamlessly.
At Methodolia, we believe great education is not only about delivering information but also about creating experiences. Learning must be engaging, intuitive, and rewarding to be effective. This philosophy guided every aspect of our work:
Work
We put the learner at the center, ensuring every feature served their needs and motivations. Whether it was interactive exercises, detailed pronunciation feedback, or real-world simulations, everything was crafted with the learner’s journey in mind.
Education is both a creative and scientific endeavor. Our team combined rigorous pedagogy with creative storytelling to make lessons both engaging and academically sound.
Technology can intimidate learners, so we focused on creating intuitive tools like drag-and-drop exercises, hotspots, and automated progress tracking to make learning simple and enjoyable.
We developed a modular system of courses covering CEFR levels A1 to C1, along with a specialized Business English track.
Each module was carefully planned to include:
