Student Management System

Every Rosetta Stone Homeschool Version 2 Language program includes the Student Management System (SMS). The SMS allows parents to lesson plan, follow student progress and generate reports.

Lesson Planning

For many homeschooling parents, teaching a foreign language is a daunting task. Lesson planning can be difficult because many parents have never taught a foreign language course, and often times they do not speak the language the student is learning. Rosetta Stone® makes lesson planning easy because parents can create their own lesson plan or choose from two preloaded lesson plans. A simple setup wizard will help parents create student user names and passwords and enroll them into their desired lesson plan. The two lesson plans are as follows:

Comprehensive Lesson Track

Parents wishing to use Rosetta Stone as the core foreign language curriculum for their students may want to use the Comprehensive Lesson Track. This lesson track provides thorough instruction in Rosetta Stone content, guiding students through seven exercises and three tests in each lesson.

Accelerated Lesson Track

This lesson plan is intended for the student who wants to advance more quickly through the program, but still wants to have instruction in all language skills. The Accelerated Lesson Track contains four exercises and two tests per lesson

Testing

All testing is done on the computer with Rosetta Stone. Within the lesson plans, students automatically advance from exercise to tests. Once a student reaches a test, they must achieve a certain predetermined proficiency level on that test, 85% for example, in order to move on. If the student does not achieve that level, they must test again until that level is achieved.

Parents can adjust the proficiency levels set in the lesson plans to meet learning goals in both the Accelerated and Comprehensive tracks. Parents also have the ability to set proficiency levels when building their own lesson plans.

Reporting

The Student Management System gives parents the ability to view, print and export student results. Parents can create a report for one or multiple students. Information available in this report includes:

  • Student's current lesson track
  • Completed lessons
  • Test scores
  • Time on task
  • Status of lesson based on proficiency level achieved
  • Date and time exercises were completed

More information regarding lesson planning, testing, and reporting as well as sample schedules and cultural activities can be found in the Handbook for Teachers Homeschool Edition included with every Rosetta Stone Homeschool Version 2.

About Greek

The Greek language is mainly spoken in Greece and Cyprus. Greek communities around the globe also speak Greek as either their first or second language. An estimated 15 million people speak Greek worldwide.

Greek Learning Tips

  • Every word in Greek is marked with a stress. This indicates where the emphasis is placed when the word is pronounced. Words with only one syllable remain unstressed.
  • In Greek, every letter corresponds to one distinct sound. There are a few exceptions that Rosetta Stone will help you learn.
  • There are three genders, or categories, of Greek nouns: masculine, feminine, and neuter.
  • Greek noun, adjective, and pronoun endings change depending on their position in the sentence, their gender, and whether they are singular or plural.
  • In Greek, the pronoun is usually dropped from sentences because its meaning is conveyed by the ending of the verbs. Pronouns are used mainly for emphasis.
  • To convey politeness, Greek speakers will use the plural form of a verb.
  • In written Greek, a question is followed by a ‘;’ punctuation marker.
