(Arlington, VA) November 1, 2008 — Rosetta Stone Inc., creator of the world’s No. 1 language-learning software in schools, has just introduced a special promotion for November in support of International Education Week.
International Education Week is an annual event co-sponsored by the Department of Education and the State Department to promote and encourage international education – from study abroad programs to language-learning initiatives to cultural celebrations. International Education Week takes place November 16 – 20, 2008.
To support international education, Rosetta Stone® Classroom is offering a 15% discount for Arabic and Chinese (Mandarin) purchases for the month of November. These are languages deemed “essential for trade in the global economy” by the Department of Education.
Rosetta Stone recognizes the importance of international education in today’s global economy. “Students in the U.S. today need to acquire the language skills to compete on a global platform,” shared Tom Adams, CEO of Rosetta Stone. “As the speed of business increases and the world gets smaller, communication across borders will become an increasingly vital element of the business world.”
