Innovative software assists in vocabulary teaching efforts
Nashua, N.H., November 18, 2005 – Transparent Language, a leader in language learning solutions, today kicks
off ACTFL with a promise to provide all attendees with a free copy of Before You Know It Educator Edition.
“We are thrilled to offer
Before You Know It Educator Edition to all ACTFL attendees,” said Chuck McGonagle,
Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “
Before You Know It is a revolutionary learning tool, we are committed to
providing the
Educator Edition to as many teachers as possible because we know that it will help to bolster their
classroom activities.”
Before You Know It is the fast, personalized way to learn a language. Experts agree that words and small phrases
are the building blocks of language. The innovative flash card methodology in Before You Know It lets learners
see and hear the foreign language, with native speaker pronunciation, and then leads them through the 4 step
Perfect Recall learning cycle.
The four steps of the Perfect Recall learning cycle in Before You Know It monitor the user’s responses and
constantly adjust to focus on the more challenging vocabulary.
- Recognize It – As the user flips through the flash cards they see and hear the foreign
language word or phase building their ability to automatically recall the meaning.
- Know It – Reinforce the learning by typing in the English meaning.
- Produce It – The user now starts generating the foreign language, as they see the English the
user thinks of the foreign language.
- Own It– Finally type the foreign language when the English is shown.
Once the user has completed all four steps of the program they will have Perfect Recall guaranteed. If they test
the material they have studied in
Before You Know It and their recall is not 100%, they can return the product for
a full refund of the purchase price.
Regularly priced at $50, the
Before You Know It Educator Edition assists teachers with the challenging task of
helping students learn and retain information. It includes over 1,000 common words and 250 essential phrases for
each of four languages - Spanish, French, Italian, Latin, and German. Teachers can create their own flash card
vocabulary list and share them with students. The Student CD, which is included in the Educator Edition, may be
