English
– The Language of the Internet Thanks to the Internet, the world is a smaller place. We can communicate
instantly with people in countries that, in many instances, we may never
have heard of and have no idea where they are. This not a reflection of
our ignorance of geography. It is our inability to keep up with the
rapidly changing world in which we live. Technology has given us the mechanism to communicate; we now need to
find a common language. For those of us whose mother tongue is English or who can already speak
English, we can consider ourselves lucky. English is the language of the
Internet. This has put great pressure on non-English speaking people to
learn English if they want to enjoy the benefits of the global village. In the early 90’s, our British affiliate, Accelerated Learning Systems
Ltd., developed four Accelerated Learning foreign language courses.
English to French, Spanish, German and Italian. These courses demonstrated
the power of Accelerated Learning and are still by far the best courses
available for learning these languages. We have now turned our attention to English. The market for English
language training has grown in line with the growth of the Internet…
which means there is still a long way to go. Commonly known as ESL
(English as a second language) or EFL (English as a foreign language), we
have developed a course based on a universal language template concept
that incorporates the latest in Accelerated Learning techniques. The design of a language course is determined by the destination
language – in this case English. The linguistic progression and grammar
depend on English. The foreign language content is established by reverse
translation. Using the template, ESL Any Language becomes a reality. We are currently building a network of foreign partners who are
translating the course into their own languages. Effectively, they are
sharing our expertise while adding their own by translating into their
respective languages. To date, we are working with partners to create ESL
Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, Indonesian, Bulgarian and Malaysian. Each
completed course is presented in the source language to make learning as
easy as possible for the student. Our market research confirms that the greatest demand to learn English
is from businesspeople that want to tap into the commercial markets of the
world. These people want to speak English and they want to learn quickly.
These are precisely the features that Accelerated Learning provides. Accelerated Learning Institute will distribute the
ESL courses in the USA. If you are an overseas associate and would like to join us in creating ‘ESL Your Language’, please contact Peter Kenyon, peter@accelerated-learning.com |
