English as a Second Language

Rosetta Stone® is a fast and easy way for you to get your ESL students speaking, reading, writing and comprehending English. Because Rosetta Stone is immersion-based, it can be integrated into bilingual, dual immersion, or limited English proficiency programs.

Accelerate the Progress of ESL/ESOL Students

Rosetta Stone stands apart because it focuses on the ESL/ESOL learners’ innate strengths, rather than their deficiencies. We all rely on our visual sense to understand the world, and that’s precisely where Rosetta Stone starts. It moves students through a carefully structured sequence of pictures, encouraging them to associate images they understand with words that they don’t. It works because that’s exactly the way we learned our first language.

It’s Immersive

Rosetta Stone gives students learning English the advantage of being immersed in English from the moment they start using the program. There’s no translation or memorization. As a result, their success doesn’t depend on their literacy in their first language.
