Rosetta Stone Education FREE Webinar: Bridging the Gap: Using Language to Develop Global Graduates

According to a recent study by the Center for Digital Education, 73% of higher education respondents believe they are teaching students the right job skills, however only 45% of companies agree. While educators are beginning to recognize that a gap exists, few have a plan in place to close the gap. At the same time, a survey of strategy + business readers discovered that 96% believe language skills are important for professional success. However, within higher education there has been a continuous decrease in the number of institutions requiring foreign language for graduation. In fact, the number of institutions requiring foreign language for graduation has plummeted from 53% in 2001 to 37% in 2011. Recognizing that building the confidence to speak a new language was critical to success in today’s global workplace, Fox Valley Technical College (FVTC) created a one-credit online language lab to complement the language skills learned in a traditional language classroom. Join us Wednesday, April 24 at 2:00 p.m. EDT to discover how Fox Valley Technical College partnered with Rosetta Stone to equip its students with the language skills critical to success in today’s global workplace. Join Leah Cáceres Lutzow as she discusses how Fox Valley Technical College: Developed an engaging online language lab that incorporated live peer-to-peer discussions with native speakers, cultural exercises and discussion boards – accessible by its busy students anywhere, anytime Increased language-course offerings in the fall of 2012 by 17.5% Expanded enrollment by reaching a new learner population that prefers online instruction This webcast is sponsored by Rosetta Stone and hosted by The Chronicle of Higher Education.
