language.
Exercise 11 
A). Read the article and put the sentences in the correct gaps 
A.
 
He grew up in Guatemala, surrounded by people trying to learn English.
 
B.
 
It depends what you mean by learn a language.
 
C.
 
Since its launch in 2012, more than 30 million people have downloaded the 
2013 Apple app of the year.
 
D.
 
One of the big changes caused by tech is the demographic shift in language 
learners.
 
E.
 
The growth of technology for educational use has transformed the way in 
which people learn and access education.
 
 
Technology has changed the way people learn and access education, particularly 
languages.

here are more people actively learning a language through DuoLingo

than in the entire US public school system," says Luis von Ahn, founder of the free 
language learning app. __1___. As a result the education was gamified and 
attracted new demographics of language learners. 
__2___. This is particularly true for languages, an area in which the explosion of 
mobile apps and interactive software has provided choice to a range of people who 
were previously unable to access foreign language education. 
Von Ahn says that when he founded 
DuoLingo
 he was determined to find a way 
for people to learn a language for free. Free access to languages was something 
Von Ahn had a personal interest in addressing. ___3___ . The majority of them 
failed to do so because they could not afford it.
____4__. 
Languages
 have long been associated with the elite, but now people from 
less privileged backgrounds are finding affordable ways to learn. English remains 
the resoundingly most-in-demand language – the British Council estimates that by 
2020, 2 billion people will be learning English across the world – due in large part 
to the advantage it offers economic migrants. 
While advances in tech may have created opportunities for more people to access 
education, the question remains as to whether it is actually possible to learn a 
language only using online tools. “___5___," says Von Ahn. "You can learn to the 
point where you can navigate and have relatively simple conversations but you 
probably won't be writing any great works of literature."
