English Language LearnersFor your

Success in all subjects, homework, tests, and in the job market

Materials designed for native speakers are not appropriate for non-native learners. DynEd specializes in non-native learners.

Reading begins with a language base that non-native learners don’t have. DynEd builds that base.

Reading isn’t just vocabulary. It assumes a language framework. DynEd develops that framework.

English Language Learning Solutions

DynEd’s research-based, technology-assisted solutions develop all four language skills, beginning with listening and speaking: “the 4-skills path.”

Research-based Approach Engages Learners and Cuts Learning Time

For your English Language Learners

Recursive Hierarchical Recognition

Multi-modal Learning

Fully Interactive

Effective practice leads to language automaticity.DynEd provides and monitors that practice.

Scope and Sequence

Students need practice

Language models are presented and practiced in ways that facilitate comprehension, long-term learning and automaticity. DynEd's unique "iconic" approach coordinates visual information with auditory input in ways not possible with textbooks. This allows the learning sequence to follow the natural path: listening, speaking, reading and writing.

Learners are active, not passive, when using DynEd's time-based interface. Within a lesson, students can move backward or forward, repeat a sentence or phrase as many times as needed, record and monitor their voices, and see clear visual support that aids comprehension. In addition, learners actively demonstrate the level of their comprehension by completing listening or other tasks that are woven into each lesson and which may even alter the depth of the presentation through DynEd's patented 'shuffler' mechanism.

DynEd doesn't leave language learning to chance. In our core courses, such as First English, English for Success, and New Dynamic English, the presentation of language takes advantage of how the human brain is organized. No other provider of English language courseware has developed this approach. For more information, please read our papers on the theory behind DynEd's pedagogy.

DynEd's award-winning programs are a step forward in English Language teaching. Based on extensive classroom experience, the latest research into how people learn, and accumulated data gathered and analyzed over 20 years in the field of computer-assisted language learning, DynEd's courses take full advantage of what multimedia can provide.

There are significant differences between traditional, text-based approaches and the listening-based, visually supported design that is at the heart of DynEd’s programs.

Developed by DynEd’s founder, Lance Knowles, this breakthrough language learning approach resonates with how the human brain has evolved to search for, recognize and employ language patterns. Learning proceeds in a recursive fashion, employing the brain's hierarchical memory structure in ways that a linear design cannot.
