People ask me all the time how I know that Voxy works, and, depending on how much time I have, I explain that our platform was designed using the results of decades of empirical research. \u00a0I say that we offer personalized instruction that adapts in real time to learners\u2019 needs, and that we teach people the real English required for them to accomplish their goals, whether that\u2019s acing a job interview, filling out an application, or understanding the notices that get sent home from their children\u2019s schools. \u00a0And then I go on to explain that we\u2019ve been testing Voxy\u2019s effectiveness since the moment it was built. <\/span><\/p>\n

In 2012, we did a study with learners at a university in Mexico who had repeatedly been unable to get the TOEFL scores they needed to graduate. \u00a0After just five weeks of Voxy, we were able to raise their scores 22%, which was a striking finding given that their scores had historically remained flat. \u00a0In 2014, we began measuring efficacy with Voxy learners, demonstrating that thousands of learners improved their proficiency if they used the platform. We presented those findings at peer-reviewed, academic conferences around the world, from the Second Language Research Forum to the Task-Based Language Teaching Conference to the international conference on Teaching English as a Second Language.<\/span><\/p>\n

We also established a framework for evaluating the effectiveness of technology-mediated language learning programs, presenting it at the <\/span>Georgetown University Roundtable in Linguistics<\/span><\/a> in 2016. \u00a0And we\u2019ve gone on to use this framework, which looks at the amount of time learners spend in the platform, their mastery of language and content, stakeholder feedback, and evidence of real-world success, to demonstrate that Voxy works in hundreds of diverse learning contexts around the world, from refugee camps in Lebanon to European manufacturing plants and from corporate boardrooms in S\u00e3o Paulo to college campuses in North America.<\/span><\/p>\n

The one thing that all of this research has in common, though, is that it\u2019s been conducted by Voxy. \u00a0Now, the thing about having a quantitative research degree and a background as a principal investigator on large-scale, government-funded projects is that I know how to conduct this type of rigorous research. \u00a0But that doesn\u2019t mean that there isn\u2019t perceived bias–we are the ones conducting the research on something we\u2019ve built. And that is exactly why I am so excited to present the latest chapter in Voxy\u2019s research history, the results of an empirical study conducted by perhaps the most well-respected independent research organization in the U.S., <\/span>American Institutes for Research<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Building on work that AIR had done in 2018, which pointed out that the needs of English language learners were not being met by one-size-fits-all approaches at institutions of higher education, this new study confirms that Voxy can help solve this problem. \u00a0<\/span>AIR researchers<\/span><\/a>\u00a0demonstrated that learners who used Voxy significantly improved their English language proficiency when compared with peers who were given access to traditional language lab software (in this case, Rosetta Stone\u2019s Auralog TELL ME MORE). \u00a0Further, learners accessed the Voxy platform outside of class time, spending nearly 75% of their time learning when they were not in class, suggesting that Voxy\u2019s personalized language learning software keeps learners engaged and working outside of class time.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"english<\/p>\n

These findings are so exciting because they confirm all of the research that we\u2019ve been conducting in-house; not only does Voxy work, it works better than traditional approaches, and it drives engagement in out-of-class learning. \u00a0The U.S. does a lousy job meeting the needs of its non-native speakers, and this research from AIR should help us demonstrate that our personalized, needs-based approach to language learning can and should be part of the solution.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\tRead the AIR Study<\/span>\n\t<\/a>\n\n
