Rosetta Stone for Schools Wins Fifth CODiE Award

This latest accolade marks the fifth time the platform has received the honor, continuing a four-year streak of recognition for its impact on student confidence. Paul Mishkin, CEO of parent company IXL Learning, credited the win to the persistent efforts of educators and students alike. The program distinguishes itself from traditional rote-memorization methods by utilizing a structured immersion approach, which relies on context and real-world audio rather than direct translation.

Beyond basic acquisition, the platform integrates proprietary TruAccent speech recognition technology to provide real-time pronunciation feedback specifically tuned to children’s voices. At Varnett Public School in Houston, where a majority of students speak Spanish at home, the implementation of these tools has helped learners progress from limited English to writing full paragraphs within a single academic year. Research corroborates these classroom observations, indicating that students utilizing the software achieve significantly higher gains in oral communication compared to their peers.
