The Rosetta Stone Language Library is a computer-based program that teaches new languages the way we all learned our native languages. It requires no memorization, no translation, and no grammar drills. It uses only the voices of native speakers and thousands of vivid, real-life photographs picturing real-life objects, actions and ideas. The Rosetta Stone provides a natural way to learn. And it is reproduced on CD using breakthrough technology and proven teaching techniques.
The Rosetta Stone Language Library is being used at the Workforce Learning Link sites primarily for teaching English to non-English speakers.
 The Rosetta Stone teaching method allows students to actually develop new language proficiency with the computer and provides teachers with new ways of using computers to make effective use of the classroom.
The Rosetta Stone uses the computer to perform the laborious initial tasks of language instruction such as acquiring vocabulary and building basic language structures. Because the computer is tireless, patient and ignorant of time, the program allows students to learn at their own pace and in their own style. When the student experiences success with the computer, he or she is able to return to class with the confidence to learn.
This self-paced learning then allows the teachers to use classroom time to create task-based activities that reinforce what students have learned on their own and apply it to real-life situations. The classroom then becomes the place where students bring their language learning to life. Teachers and students together experience the excitement of real-life language learning.
