New approach in language lessons helps pupils progress more quickly 

 

A pioneering project that is helping thousands of primary pupils to learn a foreign language shows they are progressing at about twice the rate of children using traditional textbooks.

 

A study of 1,000 pupils learning French through lessons delivered via a CD-Rom revealed significantly higher achievement during the course of a term.

A pupil is normally expected to take a year to progress by one level.
