Learning French: How a class of poor language learners were able to use Linkword to learn French and vastly improve their exam performance

February 18, 2015

The use of Linkword Language Computer Courses in a classroom situation: A case study at Rugby School.

Steffen Sommer & Michael Gruneberg
The Language Learning Journal
Volume 26, Issue 1, 2002
DOI: 10.1080/09571730285200231

This paper presents a case study of the implementation of a Linkword Language Course — French to a class of 13-year-old pupils at Rugby School. The class was selected because they were the weakest at French, performed poorly in examinations, and had problems in terms of motivation and enjoyment of French. The result of introducing a computer version of Linkword French as a complementary learning aid to the standard text and classroom work was that after seven months, following the end-of-year examination, a quarter of the class was promoted to the class above, a move that could not have been expected otherwise. The results of a questionnaire revealed that the great majority of pupils found the course easier and faster than conventional methods of learning. Rugby School, as a result of the study, has continued the use of the Linkword courses, partly at the request of the pupils.

The study above, published in a refereed journal showed conclusively that using Linkword had a marked effect on helping people struggling with learning French to succeed where before they failed. No other language company has published evidence that their course can do the same.

quotation-marks“As a dyslexic person I was astonished at how quick, easy, effective and enjoyable the Linkword system is. The website says that, with Linkword, people can learn up to 3 times more quickly than with conventional methods. I would say that with my dyslexic condition I have actually learned even more quickly than that”

Brilliant Language Course
quote2I believe this is the best language course out there. So far I have used the Spanish and French app and I look forward to trying others. It’s easy to use. I can’t recommend it highly enough. Have a go and you’ll see why.
TonyF 1888

Most effective language learning software
quote2The best language learning software I’ve tried. Having spent hundreds of pounds on Rosetta Stone and Pimsleur this software is pure gold to the language student. Linkword really does work! No rote method required, no endlessly repeating verbs and nouns to find the next day you’ve forgotten them.
Boomshankaman

Excellent
quote2A fun and easy way to learn a language, this is fourth language purchased from link word. Help from developers if needed is fast and prompt. I’m able to converse and be understood. Cannot recommend enough.
Dizzy Deem

Learning Portuguese
quote2I have had difficulty reading and spelling all my life as I suffer from dyslexia, which means I find it hard to remember and retain knowledge. To my amazement it was working for me, the course builds up a word by word knowledge and sentences. I can certainly highly recommend this course to anyone I’m totally hooked.
