The Future of Language Learning: Voccent Partners with CSBA
Voccent Technologies, a leading education technology provider, has partnered with the California School Boards Association (CSBA) to bring innovative language and emotional learning tools to K-12 classrooms across the state. This groundbreaking initiative marks the first time a statewide school boards association has collaborated directly with a language learning company to empower students with multilingual communication and emotional intelligence skills.
Voccent’s intelligent language learning platform currently supports English, Spanish, Japanese, Thai, German, Chinese, Hebrew, Hindi, Italian, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Ukrainian and many other languages. The proprietary audio processing technology helps students master languages through speaking and listening. With customized lessons and immediate speech analysis, Voccent gives teachers an advanced assessment and instruction tool for blended learning. Voccent pays attention to how kids spend time in school, after school, individually, and in groups to provide engaging language learning opportunities. Parents are an important part of this collaboration too if needed. The addition of Voccent’s emotion detection based on speech patterns also enables students to increase self-awareness and empathy.
By teaming up with CSBA, Voccent aims to provide all California school districts with access to next-generation language and socio-emotional learning. CSBA’s member services and advocacy reach over 1,000 school districts, making this partnership a huge step forward for deploying innovative EdTech statewide.
CSBA’s core goals of equity, engagement, and excellence perfectly align with Voccent’s mission to create technology that removes barriers and connects students to a bigger world. Districts leveraging Voccent through this initiative will gain affordable tools to make language education more inclusive, data-driven, and tailored to local needs.
The potential of this collaboration is limitless. Russell’s circumplex model of emotions finally has a scalable medium via Voccent’s automated detection. Local languages and cultures can be shared between schools to unite communities. Students of all abilities can access immersive language learning and emotional growth opportunities.
We live in an unprecedented time of technological change. The future is bright when organizations come together to guide innovation towards positive impact. Voccent is honored to partner with CSBA in this first-of-its-kind initiative. Be sure to see Voccent’s booth at CSBA’s Annual Conference this November/December. The future of language learning is here!
