State-of-the-Art Technology Accelerates Language Learning

ARLINGTON, Va. (March 17, 2008) — Rosetta Stone Inc., creator of the world’s No. 1 language-learning software in schools, launches Rosetta Stone^® Classroom Version 3, a next-generation software program that unleashes the power of technology to create an environment that accelerates language learning and provides quantifiable measurements of success. The innovative technology used in Rosetta Stone Classroom Version 3 is the result of the company’s leadership in language-learning software, longstanding commitment to exceeding customer expectations and origins in the education market.

Rosetta Stone Classroom Version 3 includes innovative features that take language learning to a new level of success. Advanced speech recognition technology gets students speaking from the start; speech analysis tools perfect pronunciation; grammar and spelling components build comprehensive language skills; milestones test language skills using real-life simulated conversations; and advanced intuitive sequential learning build lessons progressively. Students are instantly captivated by Rosetta Stone so they stay engaged in learning. They feel early success and language-learning confidence soars.

“Language learning is more exciting than ever, thanks to the revolutionary technology in our new Rosetta Stone Classroom Version 3,” says Tom Adams, chief executive officer. “With such strong roots in the education market, we are constantly innovating to deliver language-learning solutions that truly replicate the way students learned their first language – by immersing themselves in it. It’s so natural and easy they’ll be speaking it in no time.”

Rosetta Stone Classroom Version 3 can be used successfully in Foreign or English Language programs in primary, secondary and higher education settings, and is scalable to accommodate any number of students, from individual schools to district-wide programs and university campuses.

Maximizes Teacher Effectiveness in the Classroom

Rosetta Stone Classroom Version 3 is designed to be incorporated easily into a teacher’s overall language-learning curriculum. Teachers can use the program to complement in-class teaching or turn to the self-paced program to promote individualized learning outside the classroom, allowing them to focus on task- and topic-based activities so important to their students’ success.

Supports Administrative Reporting Requirements

The program includes Rosetta Stone Manager, a powerful administrative and reporting tool. Educators can use it to establish role-based responsibilities and student groups based on a school’s unique organizational structure. Its drag-and-drop curriculum editor helps teachers tailor courses to meet specific instructional goals or unique skill-development needs, and its real-time reporting capabilities deliver easy-to-read reports and graphs that can be used to evaluate programs and scores. Intelligent registration tools and best-practice course templates also assist teachers in getting students quickly immersed in language-learning activities.

Proven Method Engages Students in Language Learning

Rosetta Stone worked closely with teachers and educators to develop its proven Dynamic Immersion^® method, which immediately encourages users to think in a new language by connecting the new language with vivid imagery in real-life contexts to convey meaning. Through Adaptive Recall™, learners are tested on new language knowledge at optimal intervals to ensure efficient retention. The program’s Contextual Formation™ uses life-like simulations to provide the context learners need to produce completely new spoken or written language.

Comprehensive Language Offering

Rosetta Stone Classroom Version 3 is now available in the U.S. market in 14 of the most in-demand languages in schools, including Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin), English (American), English (British), French, German, Hebrew, Irish, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Spanish (Latin America) and Spanish (Spain). An additional 17 languages are also available in Version 2. Online and CD-ROM solutions are designed to support a school’s technology environment and requirements.
