SUPPORT TO AUDIO-ORAL COMPETENCE:ROSETTA STONE


We have started a pilot programme using Rosetta Stone software for three months. This project is part of an innovation program launched by the Catalan Department of Education where teachers and students test the digital software of Rosetta Stone,a company that has provided online language learning materials for many years. The software has voice recognition software, so the students can interact with the computer, "talking" to it and getting feedback. We will publish the results of the project when it is over.
