18. IMMERSION • Rosetta Stone uses dynamic immersion • Dynamic Immersion is a method that stimulates a real-life immersion experience and relies on active participation. • The immersion puts learners’ native language-learning skills to work eliminating translation and memorization • All lessons are taught in the target language (English) • The ability to understand the spoken and written language develops quickly • Task and activities engage learners in the learning process

19. IMAGES Learners group the meaning of new language from clear, real-life images Turn to your partner and discuss what is happening during this activity.

20. INTUITION Learners advance using language they’ve acquired and clues from the new images. This is their intuition at work. Turn to your partner and discuss what is happening during this activity.

21. INTERACTIVITY The learner constantly interact with the program to confirm their intuition Turn to your partner and discuss what is happening during this activity

22. INSTRUCTION Learner build systematically toward their language- learning goals for the most effective and enjoying instruction anywhere. Turn to your partner and discuss what is happening during this activity

23. Best Practices for Rosetta Stone • The program works best if learners spend 45 minutes to an hour each day mastering the material. • The learner should aim to understand enough language to make the decision required in each screen. • The learner does not need to understand every word and linguistic element when its present to make correct decision and to develop fluency. • The learning is cumulative and use the learner’s own natural language. • The learner should select learning goals based on the curricula . • Rosetta Stone includes options for guided or self-directed study. • Rosetta Stone encourages learners to repeat the lessons to improves their scores.
