Community Support: TELL ME MORE® Online language learning solutions enable libraries to meet their community’s growing need to learn and master additional languages while fostering a global community. The 2000 US census found that of the 262.4 million people in the United States over the age of five, 47 million (18%) reported speaking a language other than English at home. The need for public libraries to provide innovative language learning solutions is greater than ever.

Instructional Design/Pedagogy: Using the communicative approach, TELL ME MORE® fully immerses the learner in oral, vocabulary, and grammatical activities - delivering unprecedented results. Additionally, the solution is equipped with the patented Spoken Error Tracking System, or SETS, allowing the learner to pattern native speech by experiencing visual animated demonstrations and feedback.

Cultural Exposure: TELL ME MORE® and its cultural component makes language learning relevant by exposing learners to relevant history and culture of the nations in which the target language is spoken. The cultural component along with a comprehensive grammar tool, combine to make TELL ME MORE® unique in the online language learning market.
