abstract = {<p style="text-align: justify;">It is essential to learn the English vocabulary words. Without sufficient vocabulary, everything else becomes a castle in the air. Thus,
teachers would always like to monitor the progress of each student&#39;s
English vocabulary and to give appropriate help; however, keeping track
of the learning progress is cumbersome. In 2019, UIC-ACE Dr
Kimman Lui designed and developed VocBooster English word learning
app to assist language teachers in solving this problem. The objective of
building VocBooster is two-twofold. First, all teachers need to do is
enter a list of plain English words that they would like their students to
master this week. Then, VocBooster automatically generates different
types of English exercises, synthesizes audio sounds and produces
progress reports. Second, without any installation, students can use
VocBooster to learn anywhere and at any time on their mobile phone. There are seven kinds of English exercises: (a) Flashcard (b) Quiz (c) Three types of dictations (d) dictionary definition multiple-choice test
and (e) word usage multiple-choice test. VocBooster provides a ranking
system (e.g.Top 10%, 20%, etc) to motivate students to learn more.</p>},
