A Few of the Unique Features of Power-Glide
(And What They Mean To The Learner)

1. Language specific
   Unlike most language training programs, Power-Glide courses are designed for speakers of specific languages, rather than the “one size fits all” approach. This takes advantage of what each language community knows and doesn’t know and avoids wasted effort as well as special techniques to address language-specific problems.
   
   
2. Based on up-to-date information/research on linguistics and learning psychology
   While the Power-Glide method is revolutionary, it is based on solid research and the most up-to-date information on the relevant disciplines.
   
   
3. Involves learners in immediate use of the language in real situations
   Power-Glide courses avoid the drudgery of rote memorization of words and rules by immediately involving the learners in practical use of the language in real situations. This keeps interest, confidence, and motivation high.
   
   
4. Uses adventure stories and activities
   From the beginning, the students are involved in an adventure story and activities that are like a fun game to them. Thus they enjoy their studies and are highly motivated to continue the learning.
   
   
5. Uses multiple methods of learning: music, stories, activities, and more
   People have different learning styles. By using various methods, music, stories, etc., everyone’s style will be included and interest and variety will be enhanced.
   
   
6. Uses Diglot Weave
   Students start with familiar stories in their own language and gradually transition word by word, into the other language. The context provides the meaning and thus makes the learning an almost effortless, natural process.
   
   
7. Takes learners from the known to the unknown along the easiest path
   While learning a foreign language can be challenging, it does not need to be brutal. The Power-Glide method guides the learners through the most productive and gentle paths.
   
   
8. Uses memory devices and phonemic approximations
   Learning the right pronunciation and remembering the words and phrases of another language are greatly facilitated by using memory devises and acceptable approximations from the users own language. This also reduces the “fear” of learning that many people experience.
   
   
9. Starts with young children before their language “compartments” solidify
   While Power-Glide programs can be used by anyone at any age, it includes courses for young children whose minds are still open to learning a language as a native speaker. By doing so, the language will feel like skin rather than clothes.
   
   
10. Doesn't require teachers
    One of the greatest advantages of Power-Glide courses is the fact that the teacher, parent or facilitator doesn’t need to know the language in order to assist the learner in the process. The one assisting also learns as an unexpected byproduct of their helping.
    
    
11. Uses tests and gives academic credit
    By working with school systems, many Power-Glide course include academic tests which are recognized as, and can qualify for, school credit. This systematic testing also provides additional motivation and pacing.
    
    
12. Many other innovative strategies
    Increases motivation, retention, joy of learning, desire to use.
