LingoAce, a Singapore-headquartered education technology and language learning company, has launched its latest offering – English Live – leveraging its success in teaching Mandarin Chinese through its technology platform, to now teach English.
LingoAce’s said in a statement that the English Live courseware is animated and interactive, using cartoons, animations, and interactive activities along with certified English teachers based in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom, to boost kids’ interest in English learning.
With English Live, students will enhance functional skills in English (from listening and speaking to reading and writing), applicable social skills and their 4C (communication, collaboration, critical thinking and creativity) capabilities.
English Live is a global curriculum based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), an internationally recognised set of standards, and developed with a student-centered teaching philosophy, as well as interactive, real-life situation-based, and game-based teaching methods.
Aimed towards a broad range of students, from ages 4 through 13 initially in Thailand, Indonesia and selected European countries, future plans include the localisation of the curriculum based on customer feedback by market.
“We’re excited to now be using the technology platform we developed to reach a new set of language learners to teach the most spoken language globally, English,” said Hugh Yao, CEO and founder of LingoAce. “The synergy between the teaching concepts and methods we’ve developed and the interactiveness of the program will make it easier for children across the globe to build language fluency in English.”
In addition, LingoAce also leverages Zoom Video Communications, Inc’s technology to bring LingoAce customers more stable classroom experiences with enhanced video and audio communications.
The platform will invest in modern technologies such as augmented reality and virtual reality (AR/VR) to bring the next generation of online education solutions to life, the statement said.
“We’re inspired by how LingoAce has transformed the way modern young learners are engaged, with the goal of making language learning fun and fulfilling,” said Paul Magnaghi, global leader ISV Partner Program at Zoom. “We’re excited that LingoAce has chosen to leverage Zoom Video SDK to build the next generation of innovative online education solutions.”
