Gola, short for Go Language, is a gamified language-learning concept developed for the Interactive Media Design course. Designed for learning on the go, it integrates structured pedagogy with engaging mechanics to support consistent, goal-oriented language acquisition.
Gola!
Gola delivers a fun yet academically aligned learning experience. Unlike mainstream gamified apps, it follows curriculum-based frameworks such as the JLPT. Learners develop reading and writing proficiency, supported by guided stroke orders, ensuring accuracy, discipline, and long-term language retention.
Learning Experience
Gola motivates learners through a performance-based badge and specialization system. Paths include Business Japanese, Dining, Casual Communication, and Culture. Achievements are unlocked weekly or monthly and showcased on user profiles, reinforcing accountability, progression, and visible commitment to learning.
