Design of methodologies and strategies for teaching second languages from a universal design approach which allows people, who would otherwise have difficulties, to access foreign languages.

The work that is being done is developed as follows:

• Analysis, comprehension, and definition of the limiting factors (personal and social) to learning a language.
• Use of technology as a support tool in learning second languages.
• Adapting linguistic content to the chosen technology.
• Methodological adaptation of content for language learning with the use of technology as a support tool.
• Use with learners who may present difficulties or impairments in learning a second language.
• Assessment of the linguistic competencies of persons at risk of exclusion to certify their level of knowledge.

As an example of use, a gamified mobile app has been developed to help primary school children in Africa improve their reading comprehension in Swahili.
