MASTER JAPANESE PHONETICS THROUGH THE PRECISION OF LINGUISTICS AND OBJECT-ORIENTED LEARNING
______________________________
Navicapp: LingLab_JPN isn't just a language app; it is a specialized pedagogical tool designed for the analytical mind. Built on the principles of Object-Oriented Language Teaching (O2LT) and core Second Language Acquisition (SLA) theories, Navicapp deconstructs the Japanese language into its most microscopic, functional components.
______________________________
THE O2LT ADVANTAGE:
LEARNING BY DESIGN Just as Object-Oriented Design revolutionized computer science, O2LT revolutionizes language acquisition. We treat every linguistic element—from phonemes to orthographic strokes—as a "reusable object." By mastering these microscopic objects in isolation, you gain the ability to deploy them fluently across any context.

SCIENTIFIC FOUNDATIONS:
— SKILL ACQUISITION THEORY: We facilitate the transition from declarative knowledge to procedural fluency through structured practice.
— THE AUDIOLINGUAL METHOD & SHADOWING: We utilize high-intensity repetition to forge native-like speech habits. This approach focuses on the physiological level of acquisition—training speech muscles to automate Japanese pitch and intonation, the scientifically proven path to eliminating a foreign accent.
— SCHMIDT’S NOTICING HYPOTHESIS: Our interface ensures linguistic "input" becomes "intake" by making subtle phonetic features impossible to miss.
— ANALYTICAL PHONETICS: No more "guessing." We provide a deep dive into Japanese phonological rules to ensure pronunciation is grounded in science.
