Educators’ confidence in digital tools is increasing, but legitimate concerns remain. Not all ed tech is designed or implemented equally, so how can language teachers find the right tools to meet their needs—and the needs of their students?
Nestled in the heart of South Georgia, Valdosta State University (VSU) is one of four comprehensive universities in the University System of Georgia.
VSU's Department of Modern and Classical Languages offers foreign language and language teaching degrees both on campus and online. And Transparent Language Online into both degree programs.
Science, technology, engineering, and math are not the only (or perhaps even the most) valuable 21st century skills. Even Google says so.
Learners can explore more than 140 languages in Transparent Language Online
But the most learned language is... English! That's why English is our largest collection.
And that includes support for young learners. ESL students in grades 3-5 can improve their English with the Elementary Conversations in English Course.

Guest Post by Heather Witten, a Spanish teacher at Elizabeth High School in Colorado, where she has been on the CCFLT (Colorado Congress of Foreign Language) Board for the last 4 years. She has been flipping her Spanish class for the last 7 years and has written a chapter in the book “Flipping 2.0” describing her experiences as a flipped classroom teacher. You can also follow her classroom experiences and reflection on her blog.
Of the world’s 400 million Spanish speakers, more than 37 million live in the United States. It’s no surprise, then, that Spanish is by far the most studied second language in U.S. schools and universities.
Of the 140+ languages offered in Transparent Language Online, English is the most learned.
And for good reason.
