The Future of Language Learning

Try English App

ESL Coin’s first decentralized app has its origins in the Conversational English Meetup group, which is one of the largest in the world with over 21,000 followers on Facebook (all organic). It also spawned related chat rooms on Skype, WhatsApp and KakaoTalk where ESL students practice English with one another and search for or share resources.

Over the years, however, our group outgrew existing chat platforms, many of which have serious moderation issues and none of which are dedicated specifically to ESL students. The TryEnglish app will better facilitate English practice conversation with a variety of additional features, using the ESL Coin network to help connect them with schools, homestays and other services they may need.

TutorMatch

TutorMatch is the ‘Tinder’ match making service connecting English native speakers (Language Buddies) with ESL learners. TutorMatch makes it possible for native learners to make a passive income on the go simply by participating in casual conversations with English learners. English learners can pick and choose their language buddy and tutors simply by swiping left or right. Rewards for native speakers are based on length of conversation, quality of conversation (rating from English learner) and overall reputation. Native speakers with higher reputation level can qualify to become an English tutor which unlocks more rewards.

Using ESL Coin, micropayments can be made possible without the worries of high gas fees on the Ethereum platform.

Academic Record Transmission

The current legacy system requires the use of postal service to send physical academic transcripts and test scores to different institutions. Often times, transcripts and test certificates are prone to forgery. Using the power of smart contracts, school grades and exam scores can be stored onto the blockchain ensuring transparency, immutability and availability.

**Process**

1. Proctors test students, transmitting the test scores to them via the ESL Network or more traditional encrypted channels.
2. Raw scores may be uploaded to the blockchain—making them accessible to all—for students not concerned about academic privacy.
3. Encrypted scores are submitted by proctors to the blockchain. Uploads are done in bulk, thus paying less fees to the miners.
4. Decryption keys are transmitted to to the schools to which students have applied.
5. Scores are decrypted from the blockchain. Reading from it has no cost, so transmission is always free.
6. Students attend the accepting school of their choice, sending ESL Coin and receiving their grades.
7. Other academic records such as grades may be transmitted as by proctors for ESL students transferring to other schools and universities.
8. All fees are in ESL Coin, some of which is converted to ether to pay miners for securing academic records.
