English Grammar Test . Developed by Seven Lynx, this app provides some flexibility
in its settings as it allows the learner to choose between intermediate and upper-intermediate
levels (see Fig. 11). As a result, it scored 3 in the dimension of differentiation. It also offers a
long list of grammar topics which can be practiced with exercises provided in the app. The
app clearly reinforces the skill of grammar and as a result received the highest score in
curriculum connection. Unfortunately, it scored low in appeal since it is poor in terms of
looks and sound as no audio or video is provided to introduce the grammar inductively or
deductively. In terms of user-friendliness, we found that the app is really simple and its
instructions are very easy to follow. Thus, the mean score for the app was 3.25.
