E-learning helps pupils engage with language lessons
Published:  08 July, 2009

More than half of language teachers in the UK are frequently using technology-based tools to support their lessons, with 85 per cent opting for computer-based languagelearning programs that can be integrated into classroom teaching, according to a survey by Rosetta Stone (UK) Ltd.

Nearly three quarters of these technologically savvy teachers would vouch for the positive impact of computerbased learning tools on their students' engagement in the language learning process (74 per cent) and their ability to increase the levels of student participation in the classroom (72 per cent). Over two thirds of respondents (67 per cent) also felt that technology offered the additional advantages of encouraging students to learn independently and allows them to progress at their own pace.

French proved the most commonly taught language amongst the surveyed teachers, with nearly half of respondents (46 per cent) specialising in the language.

Spanish (18 per cent) and German (16 per cent) were other taught languages in the MFL arena, and 13% of respondents were specialists in the EAL field.

Rosetta Stone® Classroom  Edition Version 3 is available in the UK in the 25 most popular languages offered by Rosetta Stone.

Millions of learners in more than 150 countries have already used Rosetta Stone languagelearning solutions to gain the confidence that comes with truly knowing a new language.
