PHILIPPINE Women’s University (PWU) students now have an alternative way of studying foreign languages with the use of a state-of-the-art language education box provided by the rising juggernaut of Chinese online education platforms, Acadsoc.
COMPANY OVERVIEW
Acadsoc is an international online tutoring company with over 40 million eager Chinese learners who want to master the English language. With a 300% growth rate annually since its establishment in 2011, the company aims to create the world’s most effective online education platform for both language learners and teachers.
In 2018, Acadsoc initiated partnerships with universities and colleges to arrange a program where both graduates and undergraduates can secure jobs as online teachers, offer training opportunities to teaching aspirants, and provide solutions to schools for building smart campuses by using its mastery of advanced technology.
Acadsoc strongly believes in revolutionizing education through technology and aims to develop more platforms for effective and accessible learning.
In line with this goal, the company shared its new innovation, the Acadsoc Multimedia Education Box. Powered by education technology software company, Rosetta Stone, this high-tech booth can help its users learn up to 22 different languages through interactive audio and visual materials.
“Our concept is to bring this multimedia box to universities in the Philippines and other countries to allow local students [to] improve their language,” said Wailun Fung, Acadsoc’s Country Technology Manager.
“Filipinos are very smart and they are really good at communicating with people all over the world; This [box] is just a mentor to have them open the gate to work with people from all over the world in the future,” he added.
This technology has been dubbed as the pioneer language education box in the Philippines.
Acadsoc Project Coordinator, Lica Abilar said PWU has been the second university equipped with the multimedia box following Trinity University of Asia in Quezon City.
She added, “We want to give back to students, to schools, so we partner with the universities. We’ve learned that PWU has electives for students [starting] from elementary; they already have foreign languages so this is really something that they need.”
On the other hand, PWU Vice President for External, Affairs Alfredo Reyes said its partnership with Acadsoc will be beneficial in terms of bringing global knowledge in the country.
“What we have here is one of their very special booths that would allow you, students, to be able to learn a number of languages,” he exclaimed. “On several fronts, I think this partnership is going to be very fruitful, especially what they can provide for our students.”
Through the Acadsoc’s Multimedia Education box, training initiatives, and employment programs, the company aims to collaborate with more schools in the country.
