Resumo

Computer Assisted Pronunciation Training (CAPT) apps are becoming widespread to aid learning new languages. However, they are still highly criticized for the lack of the unreplaceable need of direct feedback from a human expert. The combination of the right learning methodology with a gamification design strategy can, nevertheless, increase engagement and provide adequate feedback while keeping users active and comfortable.
