neuroLanguage tool teaches BSL
Ottawa-basesd neuroLanguage Corp. and BusinessWeek magazine team up to launch Business as a Second Language (BSL), a tool which uses business news to teach intermediate and advanced English. Supported by
neuroLangauge’s interactive online learning platform, the tool draws on BusinessWeek’s content to teach business students English pronunciation and comprehension. Using a speech recognition feature, BSL allows students to listen to dictated content from BusinessWeek and practice pronunciation, which is flagged for errors and replayed alongside the correct pronunciation. The program also grades performance in areas such as reading speed and compares it against a community average.
