English Listening
. 
Developed by X-App, this app scored four in four categories: 
curriculum connection, differentiation, performance and user-friendliness. In fact, it is one of 
the apps that offer the most flexibility. It allows the learner to adjust settings in terms of level, 
speech speed, and topic. Some of the topics include: family, food, lifestyle, and business. As 
of speech speed, students can select among medium, fast, slow and very slow. Levels are 
categorized using the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages: A2, B1, 
B2, C1 and C2 -beginner to advanced level. Even though audios seemed to be either
authentic or authenticated material, the app scored only three in authenticity as the app is not 
practiced in an authentic environment. Audio quality is excellent and as a result the app 
scored four in appeal. However, the app was poor in terms of graphics (see Fig. 3). Sharing is 
not possible nor is student product available for saving in the app. The mean score for this 
app was 2.88 out of 4.

. 
Developed by THT Group, this app offers flexibility in 
terms of level settings; therefore, it received four in differentiation. Levels vary from 
beginner to advanced. It also scored four in curriculum connection, user-friendliness, and 
performance as it offers dialogues followed by questions presented in multiple choice format. 
Exercise results could not be saved nor shared; consequently it received a score of one in 
sharing. Feedback was limited to correctness of learner responses. In addition, it has a 
vocabulary section which gives the learner definitions of words and phrases from the audio 
(see Fig. 4). Therefore, the mean score was 2.63 out of 4.
