Implementing Computer-Aided Language Learning Tool Using Hybrid Agile Method: A Case Study

The advent of Agile Software Development Methods has taken software development processes to a different dimension and Agile Software Development (ASD) practices have brought standards and effective ways of adapting the ever changing requirements in every agile software development project. This paper presents agile scholarship on ASD practices. A hybrid method of "Extreme Programming" and "Throwaway Prototyping" is presented and quantitatively evaluated upon implementing a medium scale software system. The researchers adhered to certain ASD practices while following the hybrid method to develop a computer aided language learning Software for the English Language Center of Linton University College, Malaysia. The findings suggested that the provided hybrid method can be suitable for small and medium scale software projects.
