KaReFo Profile

Karky Research Foundation

Karky Research Foundation (KaReFo), established in 2013, is a non-profit educational research organisation with a primary focus on language computing and language literacy. KaReFo is dedicated to helping people from all backgrounds develop the skills needed to improve their communication and understanding of language in both spoken and written forms. We are committed to providing free access to high quality educational resources related to language learning, as well as engaging students, teachers and researchers in meaningful dialogue about the field.

Innovative Language Learning

Our team consists of individuals from various backgrounds such as linguists, computer scientists and educators who use their varied expertise for developing projects that aim at providing people with innovative ways of learning languages. Our volunteers not only provide support for various projects but also share their expertise through workshops, seminars and other events organised by us regularly.

Funding

We are presently funded by our founders and generous donors. We fund our research activities via our collaborations with various organisations on different language computing projects. We also fund our research and development via the online courses conducted by us.
