TOPICS Entertainment Presents The Flashcard: Foreign Language Software Doesn’t Work - an Industry Insider’s View on Language-Learning Software Realities and Fallacies
Renton, Washington (PRWEB) May 07, 2014 -- TOPICS Entertainment (http://www.topics-entertainment.com), sponsor of TheFlashcard.org - A Blog for Language Educators—is pleased to announce the first installment in a six-part series: "Foreign Language Software Doesn’t Work: An industry insider’s view on language learning software realities and fallacies.” The controversial series examines the marketing myths created around language-learner aspirations and software being viewed as an all-inclusive, one-stop solution to learning a new language, as compared to the actual benefits and limitations of using language-learning software by individuals, and users from schools and organizations.
The series is written by The Flashcard’s chief contributor and editor Don Gibb. Gibb brings a wealth of experience as a learner of Chinese (Cantonese and Mandarin), an ESOL and Special Education teacher, businessman, entrepreneur and writer. The last few years, Gibb has been employed by, or a consultant for, some key education tech publishers in the digital language learning space. The Flashcard has a digital-learning technology focus and provides insights, news, events and resources related to the learning and the teaching of new languages.
The Flashcard also welcomes guest blogger proposals, press releases and event announcements related to language education for possible publication.
