Language Anxiety? Try Immersion Therapy
by Thomas J. Fitzgerald
Technology has not yet produced an effortless way to learn another
language, but it can lend a helping hand. ...
A program called Rosetta Stone (
www.rosettastone.com), from
Fairfield Language Technologies, based in Harrisonburg, Va., offers study
software that uses an immersion technique. The program strives to replicate
the way children learn their native language; all of the instruction is in
the foreign language, and nothing written or spoken is translated to
English.
