powerspeaK¹² doesn’t rely exclusively on a "listen and repeat," "trial and error," or "rote memorization" approach to teaching new languages. Rather, powerspeaK¹² offers what no other language program does—an optimal mix of innovative, yet proven teaching methods that are integrated and woven together for an unrivaled learning experience. This successful blend of best practices evolved following decades of research by renowned world language experts. While powerspeaK¹² courses are continuously improved and enhanced to reflect the latest language conventions and disciplines, the roots of such creativity, innovation, and experimentation remain planted in the best research available on true native-language learning.
