Abstract
The purpose of the research presented was to review the standards and criteria present in an educational application for teaching foreign languages. The methodology followed a mixed approach in which inputs were obtained through the application of a checklist to the educational application Duolingo, for which a sample of 25 teachers of English, Italian and French as a foreign language was selected. The participants worked actively in two private educational institutions in Guayaquil, Guayas, Ecuador. The results showed conclusively that the application is effective in the teaching of foreign languages because it fully complies with the standards and criteria of usability, content adequacy, active methodologies and satisfaction required by ISO standards for an educational application to be considered of quality.
