Methodology
Neuroscience tells us that the most effective way to learn a second language is by full immersion; living in a culture where your first language is not spoken.[1]
Our online learning environment, English City, offers full immersion in English from your own computer at home. Using virtual world technology, you learn in an online city where everyone is a real person that speaks English.
We call this method of learning VERITAS. Just like being immersed in another language in a foreign country, this method is Visual, Engaging, in Real-time (live), Immersive, Task-based, Authentic and Social.
