In collaboration with the world-renowned education group Pearson, ELSA Speak has proudly launched an international-standard English learning program “ELSA for Students” made for K-12 students. This exclusive module was built based on the English Discovery book series which is a nation-wide and official English teaching and learning resources for schools in Vietnam. Students can easily get access to the “ELSA for Students” content within the ELSA app.

According to the research of Dr. Pascual – Leone at Harvard University (USA), the sooner children are exposed to a second language, the sooner they will develop highly superior memory, information processing capability, confidence and boldness. Plus, non-navtive English learners usually struggle with speaking and listening skills due to lack of practice and daily communication in English. Therefore, ELSA and Pearson joined hands to develop an English program that perfectly complements the General Education curriculum and gives students more opportunities to speak and improve their skills.

The signing ceremony took place on April 18 with the participation of representatives of Pearson Vietnam, Ms. Nguyet Do – Country Director and Mr. Michael Ngo – Country Director of ELSA in Vietnam. 

The representative of Pearson articulated that “ELSA for Students” is both a cost-effective and time-efficiency solution compared to traditional learning methods. Students get a chance to practice speaking anywhere, anytime while parents can confidently accompany their children after class.

In addition, the application of artificial intelligence technology to the General Education curriculum also helps children master English knowledge in school books, thereby, confidently communicating accurately not only in class but also in daily life. The “ELSA for Students” program will be officially launched this June. Register now to receive a 45% discount!
