What To Expect In The Future Of Online Learning?

With 1.5 billion people learning English worldwide (according to John Knagg of the British Council), below are the top five reasons for studying English:

1. Land a better new job
2. Meet more people or find new love
3. Travel with certainty
4. Get a world-class education
5. Begin a new life in an English-speaking environment

Imagine yourself being able to actually earn while learning English.

With the idea of earning while learning English, many people can improve their quality of life with social and economic opportunities.

Thanks to Web3 technologies and new business models, the concept is becoming a reality.

Welcome to GOGA, a Web3 language learning app — A good game to play to learn English and earn for real.

GOGA, Reimagining The Future Of Online Learning

Overcome The Biggest Trouble of Online Learning

Motivation is the biggest trouble of online English learning.

Motivation is a key factor affecting English learners’ success as it is the engine that powers the process.

Learning is often considered a challenging, stressful, and tiresome journey. And learning English is no exception.

Often, people are more interested in playing games than in learning. With the primary purpose of serving entertainment, games are often an excuse to distract learners from studying.

Not to mention an English learning route usually lasts at least 3 to 6 months. If you are persistent enough to go through that long journey, the next step is to land a new job with a higher income.

However, the transition from learning to earning a better living is slow. The low speed of this transition results in a lower success rate and lower learning motivation.

The question is, how do you motivate learners to continue learning rather than giving it up after a few days?

GameFi (‘game’ + ‘finance’) — also called Play-to-Earn games — is one of the most potential trends in the technology space. Users can earn money while playing online games.

Axie Infinity, a GameFi Play-to-Earn pioneer, has already demonstrated that rapid growth is achievable. Axie daily users increased from 30 to 2.5 million in 2021 alone, while the daily volume of token trading increased from $5 to $500 million.

Applying a similar concept to English learning, you have the Learn-and-Earn solution. Learn-and-Earn accelerates the speed and success rate of acquiring new skills with financial incentives and personal fulfillment.

In the most recent study, we tested three groups:

• Group 1: Free users — Learn for free with a GOGA Free account
• Group 2: Paid users — Learn with an upfront payment account — a GOGA Premium account costs $49
• Group 3: Learn & Earn users — Learn and receive a daily reward in the form of money based on their learning results.

The Learn-and-Earn results for English learning turn out to be really promising (see the figure below).

Figure 1. 30-day User Retention for GOGA for testing 3 groups with 3 business models

After 30 days of downloading the app, 62% of Learn-and-Earn users were still learning English with GOGA. In comparison, only 16% of GOGA Paid users continued to learn after 30 days.

In short, GOGA Learn-and-Earn users are 3.8 times more likely than Paid users to be learning English using GOGA 30 days after downloading it (see Figure 1).

GOGA has transformed a high-quality Web2 language learning product into an even more engaging Web3 experience.

It contributes to making English learning more enjoyable, rewarding, and engaging.

Here are some of the major steps we’ve taken to make GOGA become a high-quality Web3 language learning ecosystem:

• NFT assets: Beginning with NFT GOGA, users own in-game assets. Users hold the assets directly in their wallets, which are freely transferable.
• NFT marketplace: Users can freely trade their GOGA assets through a decentralized peer-to-peer marketplace.
• Incentives & Rewards: Users earn tokens & other transferable NFT assets, which they can exchange for money.

Access The Most Effective Way of Learning English

Immersion in English-speaking environments has long been regarded as one of the most effective approaches to learning English. It helps enhance your language abilities, consolidates the learning experience, and progress towards fluency.

Therefore, many people study in English-speaking countries such as the USA, the UK, Australia, and the Philippines to improve their English skills. Below are three reasons why studying abroad is advantageous for language learners.

Non-stop immersion

Real-life immersion in English requires learners to improve their skills to be understood by the locals. You need to communicate in daily situations such as: buying food, paying bills, navigating public transport, etc.

After all, there is a new world to discover, and English skills are the key to thriving abroad.

Unpredictable topics to practice

No matter how good they are, course books cannot cover all life events and interests.

While learning abroad, you not only have opportunities to practice classic topics in books, but you’ll also be exposed to numerous other topics through interactions with locals, host families, teachers, and schoolmates.

Measurable success

Overseas students frequently report coming back home feeling happier and more confident about their studies.

When studying abroad, language success is measured not by a score but by the fact that as you improve, your daily conversations with the locals gradually become more natural. Learners are highly motivated by these small successes.

However, there are three drawbacks to studying abroad:

• The average cost of studying abroad in developed countries such as the UK is $31,380 per year (according to topuniversities.com.)). The issue is that not everyone can afford to study abroad.
• In terms of time, most study abroad programs last 2–4 years. Not everyone can devote that much time to learning English.
• Regarding location, countries such as the UK, the USA, and Australia are far away. Therefore, only a small number of learners can go to these countries to learn.

These 3 drawbacks motivate GOGA to take a new step forward in 2024 with the development of GOGA Land: the open world that simulates the natural world but with much more fun, and practicing English is the main tool to explore.

You will create your game scenario at GOGA Land. The in-game activities are entirely up to you, and English terms in the game rely on the activities you choose.

All learners can learn English, interact, and have fun through numerous situations occurring in games. You will learn new skills and necessary knowledge and get real-life simulation experience, such as traveling around the world or starting up a small coffee shop.

Thus, you have the whole experience of immersing yourself in a virtual English-speaking environment — GOGA Land.

By immersing yourself in a virtual English-speaking environment — GOGA Land, you will naturally get used to English.

Empower Community Ownership

It is a fact that many learning courses lose their original prices because learners drop out in the middle and resell the courses for a lower price. In this case, it seems that only course builders take advantage of the tuition fee while learners haven’t acquired any skills.

Our ambition in 2026 reflects through GOGA Metaverse — The Web3 language learning ecosystem will enable teachers and learners to own their education. They can create their course with the property right in the form of NFT, to ensure only one individual has the right to own and sell the course at one time.

Purchasing an NFT asset entails purchasing with the expectation that the investment will make more money. Therefore, NFT assets always sell for at least the original price, if not many times more.

GOGA Metaverse is open for creators to make learning content about any skill in any field for other teachers and learners. You are enabled to create content, connect and socialize with other people in the GOGA Metaverse universe.
