Hello Everyone. I’m Piero and I live in Montreal Canada. I’m an extremely passionate polyglot and I currently speak 7 languages and I’m learning an 8th one.
I work in Information Technology and I have been working as a Software Engineer and Senior Software architect for the past 30 years. For the past 4 years I have been researching how digital technology and artificial intelligence can radically transform how we learn languages. The culmination of this work is a digital language learning platform named LBI - Languages By Immersion. If you would like to find out more about this platform, you can check out my presentation entitled “The Digital Transformation of Language Learning”. The presentation is available in the presentation sections of the conference (Saturn room).
The LBI platform leverages digital technologies and artificial intelligence to create a virtual immersive environment where, assisted by digital tools, a person can accelerate language learning through exposure to compelling and comprehensible video content in the target language. The digital platform enables a user to import this content from online sources (such as Youtube) and provides automated digital language tools which turn this material into “comprehensible input” which can be used as the basis of a compelling, engaging and effective language learning experience.
If you are interested in knowing more about this new platform, please reach out to me. I am available to answer questions and to provide a live demo.
Enjoy the conference!
