The Power-Glide Difference

Why are Power-Glide Programs so Effective?

They are a Blend of the Best Innovations Based on Up-To-Date Understanding of Linguistics and Learning Psychology.

With few exceptions, language-learning methods have not changed much in the past 50 years. What you typically find today is the old "listen-and-repeat" methods done with new technology: tapes, CDs, computers, etc., packaged and worded to make them seem new. But they usually aren't new at all. They are the same old "uglies" of language learning repackaged to look new. The essence hasn't changed.

Occasionally a few creative geniuses have made breakthroughs in language learning. For example: This is how the Power-Glide method compares to the silent method, the total physical response (TPR) method, the mnemonics/phonetic approach, and the Natural Approach.

Each breakthrough has added something to language learning effectiveness. But, each method focused on its own approach almost exclusively. Then one linguist, Dr. Robert Blair, took the most revolutionary step of all. He put the best of them together into a systematic learning process, added his own innovations, and tested and validated it with thousands of students. This integrated and improved result is now known as the POWER-GLIDE method.

Power-Glide programs are revolutionary because they do not limit themselves to one type of learning strategy, but utilize the best practices from around the world. Most developers of language training have one primary strategy that they use. It might be listening and repeating, or role-playing, mnemonics, games, Diglot-Weaves*, or any number of other approaches. While these methods might be good for certain situations, the Power-Glide programs use each strategy for its best application. Thus, the overall learning is accelerated exponentially. Also, the variety of learning activities and approaches make it easy for all types of learners to absorb the language faster than with traditional methods.

The self-paced nature of the courses makes it possible for teachers or parents who do not know the target language to help a child learn without any prior training. Our courses actually offer teacher/parent guides that are filled with ideas to keep students motivated and progressing.
