Unique English: An English Learning Application for Remedial Program Using Gamification Approach

Abstract

Literacy and Numeracy Screening (LINUS) that implemented in Malaysia as an educational program to improve literacy and numeracy among Year 1 to Year 3 pupils in all primary schools has been terminated in 2019. However, school-level remedial program still exists and its related application is limited in the market as there is no centralized syllabus for English remedial program yet. Therefore, an English learning application for remedial program called Unique English is designed with Multimedia Mobile Content Development to overcome this problem by using previous LINUS centralized constructs. An application testing has been carried out in S.K. Pintas Raya, Parit Raja which involves pupils in remedial program and received satisfactory results with 83.2 % positive feedbacks obtained thus it can be concluded that Unique English is suitable to be implemented in remedial program.
