Do You Speak Holo? A Mixed Reality Application for Foreign Language Learning in Children with Language Disorders

In this paper we present Do You Speak Holo?, an application for Microsoft HoloLens co-designed with linguistics experts that aims to facilitate the learning process of a foreign language for children and adolescents with language disorders (LD). The application includes several educational activities, aimed at improving both vocabulary and morpho-syntactic aspects of the language through the interaction with virtual content immersed in the real world. The application includes a virtual assistant, which acts as a virtual teacher and guides the user step by step in the comprehension and execution of the activities.
