Abstract

Duolingo, as a popular language learning application, have approximately 200 million active users worldwide (Loewen et al., 2019). With artificial intelligence (AI) support, it can model and recommend courses for learners according to their performance in the placement test. This personalized learning experience makes learning relevant and lead to effective learning (Zou, Wang, Xie, Cheng, Wang, & Lee, 2020). Several studies compared Duolingo with regular classes and reported favorable learning outcomes (e.g., Rachels & Rockinson-Szapkiw, 2018). However, little research has been conducted to investigate the learning experiences of learners with different language proficiency levels.
