Simpler

    Simpler is an English learning application for children and adults with 5000 words and grammar and also this application can made assignment for student. Of course this application is very relevant to learning English, because from the basics it is already English (4). For feedback, the teacher can only provide material and questions, but the teacher cannot provide feedback in the form of comments on the application (2). But, from that, we can say this application is very accessible and the features are understandable for both teachers and students, so it is certain that students or teacher will easily operate individually (4). The use of this application makes students motivated to do assignments because this application is not monotonous, the features and themes are so interesting and very easy to use for the current generation (4). In this application it is easy for students to save their score result pf their assignment and they can show the score to teachers to see (4). Lastly, Simpler is very accessible for all mobile phone and tablet users, even tought this application must be needed to download the application, but can be directly accessed through and they can login and anything for free and easily (4).   

    Simpler can be used in ELT, because on this platform there are many features that support the learning process in English with creatively and interesting, so make students easy and fun to learn English. Not only that, Simpler also has a big impact on ELT, namely Simpler can make it easier for ELT to motivate students to do assignments with fun and not boring and then make a learning process goes well. From this point, we can see that Simpler has many advantages, namely that this application can be accessed anywhere and anytime by students and teachers for free, besides that this application provides many supporting feature and also this applocation easier to teacher give assignment for students.

    However, what is very unfortunate in Simpler although it can be accessed without paying, but also Simpler takes up a lot of memory space and there is no comment field for teacher's feedback. And finally, from Simpler we can use effectively language skills or components in the form of reading, writing and listening.
