The purpose of this study is to investigate how a gifted student perceives the effectiveness of Duolingo, as well as how the participant improved his language skills. The participant was a 14-year-old Turkish male who began using Duolingo knowing nothing about French. Data was gathered through interviews, self-reports, and language tests. According to the findings, Duolingo provided a user-friendly, enjoyable, and competitive learning environment for the participant, but it was not regarded as an all-in-one language-learning tool. The participant appeared to gain various language skills, particularly reading and writing skills, without referring to other sources. When considering the improvement level in this case, Duolingo should be a reciprocal learning tool as an addition to language courses rather than a replacement for regular language courses.\u003Cbr>Keywords: Case study, Duolingo, foreign language, giftedness. |\n| --- |\n| E-mail: [esinnhazar@gmail.com](esinnhazar@gmail.com). |\n\nINTRODUCTION  \nMost cognitively evolved species have intelligence, which refers to the ability to learn and comprehend. It is about having the ability to solve problems, make decisions, and conform to the environment in a more efficient manner (Solé-Casals et al. , 2019) . \"Giftedness\" refers to abilities such as executive functioning, fluid reasoning, and creativity, as well as a higher intelligence quotient (IQ)(Navas-Sánchez et al. , 2016) .  \nGifted children learn faster and more effectively than their peers, most likely due to the above-mentioned distinct cognitive functioning that allows for different problem-solving strategies (Geake, 2008) . Because gifted children have unique characteristics and distinct ways of thinking and learning, they excel in a variety of subject areas, including language learning. It is widely acknowledged that some students are more proficient in foreign language learning than others, and aptitude, an inherited trait, is one of the most important factors in foreign language proficiency (Zoghbor and Alexiou, 2020) . According to some studies (Clark, 2002; Prodanovska-  \nPoposka and Todorova, 2020; Yunus et al. , 2013a), gifted children have this ability to use language for receiving, understanding, and transferring information. Their problem-solving abilities enable them to overcome language learning challenges and improve language performance. They respond quickly to new structures in a foreign language and can easily memorize vocabulary and learn new languages (Passet, 2015) .  \nMany strategies have evolved over time to enable the use of appealing and up-to-date methodologies in language learning, and learning through mobile technologies is one of the new ways of learning in the twenty-first century. Language learning, like other disciplines, has a place in mobile learning initiatives these days. More flexible, autonomous, and motivating learning experiences to pique the interest of gifted students and meet their educational needs to learn a foreign language, as regular educational practices can quickly bore them (Gomez-Arizaga et al. , 2020) . Students can access courses not offered at their school through mobile apps  \nAfr Educ Res J 448  \nwithout having to travel to a special class or hire instructors, which is one of the benefits of using mobile apps (Luque et al. , 2020; Reis, 2001) . Current technology provides many mobile apps for learners to practice a language and one of them ","cbCairNHCtSYrOFW","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairNHCtSYrOFW","pdf",322758,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## Intellectual giftedness\n## Mobile app-based language learning\n# Research questions\n# Participant and data collection","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of the study about Duolingo?\",\"answer\":\"To examine how a gifted student perceives Duolingo’s effectiveness and how the participant improves language skills after using the app.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the participant’s language progress evaluated?\",\"answer\":\"Language progress was assessed using interviews, self-reports, and language tests over about two months of app use.\"},{\"question\":\"Is Duolingo considered a complete language-learning tool in this case study?\",\"answer\":\"No. The participant did not regard it as an all-in-one language-learning tool and suggested it should complement regular language courses rather than replace them.\"}]","Learning a brand-new language through Duolingo - A case study of a gifted student - Full Length Research Paper | PDF",1792071323,18]
