ARLINGTON, Va. (June 5, 2008) — Rosetta Stone Inc., the developer and the producer of the #1 Foreign Language Curriculum among Homeschoolers, is proud to announce its new Rosetta Stone Homeschool Version 3 program, an ideal solution for language-learning in the home. With an immersive method that motivates and engages students, and powerful Parent Administrative Tools in place for parents, homeschool's leading foreign language curriculum is now even better.
Rosetta Stone took the needs of parents and built them into Homeschool version 3, which features the latest innovations in language-learning technology and advanced parent administrative tools. "Parents don't have to speak another language to use Rosetta Stone as their foreign language curriculum," noted Tom Adams, CEO of Rosetta Stone. "Our Dynamic Immersion® method makes learning effective - without translation - while keeping students motivated and on task. We also give parents a comprehensive suite of administrative tools to manage their child through a successful language learning experience." The ability to run activity reports, sets up a curriculum and even monitor student progess only further enhances the rich, interactive and engaging language-learning experience that has become a Rosetta Stone trademark.
Benefits of the new Rosetta Stone Homeschool Version 3 include:
- Advanced speech recognition technology, which provides instant feedback to the student and improves pronunciation;
- Interactive and engaging speaking activities that get learners producing language on their own in just a few screens;
- Grammar and spelling components that allow students to build comprehensive language skills;
- Adaptive Recall™, a feature that tests students on new language knowledge at optimal intervals to ensure effective retention; and
- Milestones, that test language skills using real-life simulated conversations.
For parents, Rosetta Stone Homeschool Version 3 features Parent Administration Tools. These tools include predefined curriculum paths to assist in lesson planning and achieving learning objectives, as well as providing parents a way to fully monitor progress via activity reports and graphs.
A complementary Audio Companion™ CD will soon be available for all the Version 3 languages. Designed to be used in conjunction with the interactive lesson, Audio Companion will reinforce learning by enabling students to practice their new language skills while away from a computer.
