Forem Selects Balingua
January 8, 2009 by balinguaWithin the frame of the Marshall Plan the job agency Forem (a Walloon institution, in Belgium) selected Balingua for its job seekers who are beginners in learning Dutch, German or English.
Forem job seekers will have 33 hours of work on the Balingua website to complement their class learning with Forem teachers specially trained by Balingua.
As you know, the Balingua method aims at boosting the acquisition of a language by focusing on the structures of the language (= syntax) and on the oral language (listening and speaking). It precedes or complements any other language learning method that teaches morphology and vocabulary.
Around twenty hours of concentration with the Balingua method are enough to master orally all the structures of the studied language! This should help many foreign language learners across classes and schools!
This is good news for Balingua team!

News from the Plato version!
January 31, 2008 by balinguaThere is a message from Plato Team!
As we are in the final phase of the software development, we have carried out a pilot [field] test of our software. Two people participated in the test. They learned English through Japanese educational system and have difficulty in speaking English. They are highly motivated in English learning and tried our software eagerly.
The results turned out that the software was very effective, especially when they repeated Booster 1 through 4 more than three times (rounds). The followings are the points they pointed out after their training:
1) They realized they began to acquire the syntax, especially after the second round of their training.
2) They emphasized that, through the training, they assimilated the rhythm and intonation of English language. They say it helped not only the acquisition of syntax but also the improvement of their speaking skills. They say they began to acquire the rhythm and intonation after the third round of their training.
3) First they couldn’t speak the answer parts well, but later they began to speak without much difficulty and stress.
4) Interestingly, both of them got worried about what they were doing during Booster 2, in their first round of training, but after that, in the second or third round of the training, they experienced “breakthrough” and realized that their English was actually improving and became very motivated.
5) They realized their weak points in their English.
Summing up their feedback, we believe the software increases the learners’ “readiness” to understand and speak English. The learners can make a strong foundation (base) to learn English more effectively and acquire speaking skills.
