Maybe you've heard about or even used this application, but are you have used this application for learning English before? this application is named HELO.
Helo is a social media platform that allows users to share content in photos, short videos, or expressions of expression in status uploads.
Then is this application suitable for use as a medium in learning English? Let's discuss it together.
Let's look at the assessment rubric below:
let's use the aspects of the assessment above to give a score to the Helo application, the more according aspects needed the score that will be obtained will be higher.
Relevance: 3
we give a score of 3 because this app can be used to learn English even though the main purpose is not for learning but for entertainment. In fact, by using entertainment media as learning media, we benefit because the learning process is not too boring, and fun. although how the teacher packs the material plays an important role in it.
Feedback: 2
teachers can only provide feedback through writing comments, without being able to comment live and directly. so we give a score of 2.
Thinking Skill: 2
with the teacher making a short video about the material to be conveyed and being able to write a little discussion it can make it easier for students to understand and remember the material presented, but still, the teacher must package the display of the material in an attractive manner. so we give a score of 2.
Easy of Use: 4
its use is very simple, even users who have never used it can immediately understand the functions that are in it. so, we give score of 4.
Engagement: 4
most likely students will use this apk when directed by the teacher, although there is a lot of interesting content in it but this application is not that popular when compared to popular applications today such as Tik-tok, Instagram, twitter, etc.
Sharing: 4
because basically this app was created for social media which is made to make it easier for its users to exchange information in the form of videos or photos, for ease of sharing we give it a value of 4.
Accessibility and cost: 4
This application is free without being charged anything in it. you can even get prizes if you often watch videos in this app.
The conclusion we can draw is that this application supports English learning activities because the features in it meet whatever is needed in the learning process such as easy to access, attractive and simple interface display, and can disseminate information widely. BUT we recommend not using the HELO application for learning activities because there is a lot of content that should not be consumed by students who are not old enough to sort out which things are good and which are not, especially on the Indonesian server when we first enter the apps, we will show them right away. pornographic stuff.
My advice, is please choose an app that is more supportive for learning activities that have not been contaminated with adult content.
