ExsulCoin Launches Rohingya-to-English Language Learning Suite to Aid Refugees in Education and Integration
NEW YORK, June 26, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- ExsulCoin, provider of a blockchain technology platform and cryptocurrency to facilitate refugee-led projects, launched its Rohingya-to-English language learning tool. The learning suite features 8-10 series of 10 high-resolution videos, two to three minutes in length, which begins with 50 basic vocabulary words and advances toward complete fluency. The first series is available now at: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCt7bfIdAT2O20bgLIdosmpw. The videos are entirely open source and available on YouTube, accessible on any Internet-enabled device.
English is the most commonly spoken language around the world, and fluency is a powerful asset for marginalized communities across the globe. Empowering refugees with English language education helps them advocate for themselves, integrate into new settlements and generally increase their level of knowledge where formal education is unavailable or inaccessible.
"Undereducated regions are 50 percent more likely to experience conflict, and it is ExsulCoin's core mission to combat that with sophisticated tools that facilitate education in even the most challenging environments," said James Song, founder of ExsulCoin. "It is also our aim to make the integration process smoother and more successful through education and financial empowerment. English fluency could be the make or break factor in how many refugees are able to reclaim their lives, and we hope to provide that as widely and easily as possible."
The AI-driven platform uses machine learning and eye-tracking technology to determine how each user best absorbs the material and optimizes lessons accordingly as they progress through the series. It records skills assessments, and securely stores educational achievement and identity verification on its blockchain platform, making it easy for employers to screen and hire resettled refugees.
This approach means more efficient learning and a quicker adaptation to the language, and the ability for more people to use the same tool on the same device. This scalability is important in Rohingya refugee settlements, which have reached the size of a small city but where only 1 in 7 has access to a smartphone. Exsul also provides mesh networks to deliver Internet access into the refugee camps.
Further, this approach makes inroads into the Rohingya community that have never been made before. It also helps preserve the Rohingya language and its dialects, helping mitigate the loss of smaller tribal languages and cultures that often comes with refugee assimilation.
