    LEXISGURU: Mobile Application for Learning Basic Lexis in English for Kids

    Lexis is an essential part of English vocabulary that puts a good foundation on a child’s English knowledge. In this rapidly globalizing world, it is fundamentally essential to learn English from a young age. In recent years eLearning, mobile applications have been developed for teaching Lexis to children. The market of educational mobile apps, especially for English language learning, has been rapidly growing. Especially in a country like Sri Lanka, English is not the mother tongue, it is the second language. So, when that second language is not taught right the child will lose interest in learning that language. The problem is that the existing lexical learning mobile applications does not aim at keeping the child interested and interactive in the learning process and in Sri Lanka, children find it difficult to understand these lexical parts. As a result, teachers and parents had to spend a lot of time to teach them those lexical parts. We designed and developed a mobile application called “LexisGuru” that uses interactive and effective ways to teach three lexical parts that are homophones, synonyms, and antonyms to children aged between 8–10 in Sri Lanka. This mobile application uses Machine Learning (ML), Image Processing (IP), gamification that includes collaborative environments, and speech recognition techniques. The developed mobile application was introduced to primary level learners, and they were all very attracted and interested while using this application. The attractive user interfaces, the pretests, and posttests, notifying the child when he loses focus while learning, using interesting stories and activities to teach lexis, playing a game with multiple players, and asking questions from the lesson and taking the voice inputs gave a new experience and showed that making the mobile application interactive as possible is an effective way to teach lexis to children.

    E-Learning Education System For Children With Down Syndrome
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2022-09-16) Sampath, A.S.T; Vidanapathirana, M.W.; Gunawardana, T.B.A; Sandeepani, P.W.H.; Chandrasiri, L.H.S.S; Attanayaka, B
    The World Health Organization assesses that Down Syndrome (DS) affects about 1 in 1000 births worldwide. Children with DS cannot learn, as usual, instigating numerous inadequacies that lead to formative issues such as trouble encoding information and low intelligence to interpret data for decision-making. As a superior technique for these kids' intercom-municating and logical intellect, free-hand sketch drawing, Voice training, and word prediction activities can be success-fully utilized. As the best way to express the mindset of such chil-dren, introducing an E-Learning system makes a friendlier ac-tivity than learning about the past. Because of the improvement of Artificial intelligence and its encouragement, E-Learning-re-lated exploration and applications are moving at an enormous advancement rate. The main objective of this project is to de-velop a reliable and efficient approach to predicting the devel-opment of DS children. Classifying and identifying those hand-written images and voice samples and those samples are given by children with DS compared to the teacher through the construction of a model structure. This research project specially considered local down syndrome children's hand-drawn images, voice samples, letters, numbers, and words as the input. As a result, it gives accuracy and similarity with the teacher's sam-ples and relates parts in the down syndrome children's samples. The system uses artificial intelligence technologies. Through that, the knowledge capacity of the DS children and their con-veyed articulation of that knowledge can be assessed for additional correlations and investigation.
