Gale to Offer Powerspeak Languages

Powerspeak Languages, Gale’s online interactive language resource, is a breakthrough in learning foreign languages. Based on the time-tested methods of linguist Dr. Robert Blair, Powerspeak Languages uses an arsenal of approaches that combine systematic learning processes with innovative, yet proven, methods in courses tailored specifically to each language.


Powerspeak Languages doesn’t simply rely exclusively on a “listen and repeat” or “rote memorization” approach. It offers what no other language program does—an optimal mix of progressive, yet tried-and-true teaching methods that reflect the latest language learning methods.


Powerspeak Languages simulates gradual immersion into a new language through a series of stories, activities and innovative learning tools. It guides users toward proficiency— so they are learning not just words and phrases but listening, speaking, reading, grammar, and pronunciation skills.
