The article looks at the effectiveness of online foreign language learning systems, focusing on the language learning program Rosetta Stone. The author outlines her research, which compared the language proficiency outcomes for three groups of college students: a group taking a first-level Spanish course, a group completing Rosetta Stone, and a group doing both. Topics include communicative competence and the assessments within Rosetta Stone.
