Preston Community School, a secondary school in Yeovil, Somerset, has boosted its pupils’ language learning skills following a successful pilot scheme of Rosetta Stone’s online language learning. 80% of pupils of mixed ages and abilities, including those with literacy and/or behavioural problems, that evaluated the online French, German and Spanish programs claim to have learnt new language skills, consolidated previous learning, and are keen to continue using the software.
