Published Evidence For Linkword

PUBLISHED EVIDENCE OF PERFORMANCE BY THE AUTHOR OF LINKWORD

Beaton, A. A ., Gruneberg, M. M., Hyde, C. Shufflebottom, A. & Sykes, R.N. (2005). Facilitation of receptive and productive foreign vocabulary acquisition using the keyword method: The role of image quality. Memory, 13, 458-471

This study shows that poor quality images result in less good memory for vocabulary than rote learning, but that good images-taken from Linkword courses result in very much better learning of vocabulary than rote learning

Sommer S. and Gruneberg M (2002) The use of Linkword Language computer courses in a Classroom situation; A case study at Rugby school. Language Learning Journal, 26, 48-53

This study shows that using Linkword alongside normal classroom learning resulted in much better end of term examination performance for a group of poor learners including pupils who were dyslexic. It also showed they much preferred the Linkword course to normal language learning

Gruneberg M. and Pascoe K. (1996) The effectivness of the keyword method for receptive and productive learning in the elderly. Contemporary Educational Psychology, 21, 102-109

This study showed that old age was not a barrier to the effectiveness of Linkword, as a group of over 65 year old learners did significantly better with Linkword that those not using Linkword.

Beaton, A. A ., Gruneberg, M. M., and Ellis N (1995) Retention of foreign vocabulary learned using the keyword method: a ten year follow up. Second Language Research,11,2, pp 112-120

This Case Study showed that even 10 years a learner had learned Italian level 1- including a vocabulary of 400 words, he remembered 30% of words without any revision. When he was then given 10 minutes to go though the glossary for revision, he remembered 70% of the vocabulary. Finally he was given 1.5 hours to go through the whole course and he remembered almost 100% of the words when tested

Gruneberg M , Sykes R and Gillett E. (1994). The facilitating effect of Mnemonic strategies on two learning tasks in learning disabled adults. Neuropsychological Rehabilitation, 4, 241-254

This study showed that even learners with learning difficulties learned significantly more with Linkword than rote learning

Gruneberg M and Jacobs G (2002) In defence of Linkword. Language Learning Journal 26,48-53

This paper contains reports of a series of case studies all of which show that those using Linkword courses find Linkword much faster, easier and more enjoyable that normal language learning. One study of executives at Thomson Holidays, was assessed by a consultant for Berlitz. He found the group had learned in 12 hours what normally took 40 hours. Other studies showed that learners found Linkword to help not only vocabulary but also grammar learning

We know of NO other courses in language learning that have published, in scientific journals, details of how they perform in terms of speed of learning or in terms of how fast easy and enjoyable learners find the courses. The level of satisfaction of actual users is also backed up by our feedback on ebay.co.uk, where there have been over 3100 positive feedbacks from customers.

A KEY STUDY

Raugh M and Atkinson R (1975) A mnemonic method for learning foreign languages. Journal of Educational Psychology.67, 1-16

This study found that using the Keyword (Linkword) method of learning vocabulary increased learning from 28% to 88%, an increase of over 3 times.

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”

Reviews from iTunes customers

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.
