And in today’s world, we are keenly aware of the impact English can have on breaking cycles of poverty in families, communities, and societies. Computer-based language learning is a widely accepted teaching method in the private, public, and higher educational school systems of industrialized nations, and even used worldwide by business as an adult learning strategy.
