Rosetta Stone – English as a Second Language Skills

Using Rosetta Stone, learners can receive unequaled online training in English as a Second Language for 26 different languages.  

With a rising immigrant population in the United States, many employers want their workers to have a command of English so the business, and the employee can be successful.

On Rosetta's website, ESL learners get a similar experience with a new language as they did learning their native tongue. They match spoken phrases with images, and the interactive technology confirms the match and the meaning without requiring memorization or translation.

Learners also develop reading comprehension by matching written phrases with images. The program also contains speech recognition software that allows learners to record themselves and play back speaking in the new language. A meter on the screen immediately assesses proficiency and analyzes their pronunciation, giving them feedback to improve and gain confidence.

Finally, students gain experience writing. After listening to spoken words and phrases, students type what they hear, and the system checks their writing for accuracy. Before proceeding, students can make corrections.
