| Abstract | Rosetta Stone is a language-learning software company with years of experience offering a wide variety of instructional design types for learners of various kinds and at different proficiency levels. In our experience teaching language online, we have discovered that the diversity and sheer number of discrete objectives that learners face in the process of acquiring a language suggest that not all learning objectives are best achieved using a single approach. This perspective is supported by research in second language acquisition focused, for example, on the potential benefits of instruction with or without supporting explanation. Importantly, researchers have clarified the difference between implicit and explicit learning on the one hand, and inductive and deductive instructional treatment on the other, indicating a complex relationship that yields multiple distinct approaches. In the classroom, teachers can attempt different approaches depending on how instruction is received by learners in real time. By contrast, delivering e-learning content means making a conscious commitment to a specific approach for a particular proficiency level or type of objective. How do we decide on the right approach? The choice must be made thoughtfully to ensure the best experience for the widest range of learners, in the context of software and other priorities and constraints. |
