Vocab Builder is a set of vocabulary learning games for endangered and Indigenous languages, made for The Language Conservancy and available on iOS and Android.
Players learn words through
nine mini-games that combine pictures, audio and written words, from flash cards to spelling and quiz games. The games are used across 14 published language apps, including Stoney Vocab Builder.
Published examples include
Rincon Luiseño Vocab Builder for Luiseño and
Kehkimin Vocab Builder for Wolastoqey. Each is a separate app for its own language community.
The Language Conservancy provides the linguistic expertise and cultural guidance. David was lead developer on the games. Read the
Vocab Builder case study for more on the project.
