| The Berlitz Learning Cycle |
| The Berlitz Learning Cycle was developed as a quality assurance process to ensure consistent delivery of the Berlitz Method® and make certain that each student reaches the targeted proficiency level of learning as defined by his/her needs analysis. Berlitz uses standardized proficiency levels in order to assess a student’s current level of language ability and measure his/her progress as they move through their program. No other language training provider offers this level of formalized and consistent service. |
 |
| The stages of the Learning Cycle are outlined below: |
- Needs Analysis: Determines the Berlitz Proficiency Levels needed to attain personalized goals and helps to set expectations for the program.
- Program Recommendation: Provides students with a recommendation for the amount of training needed to bridge their linguistic gap.
- Orientation: Gives students the opportunity to meet instructors and receive program materials, including a road-map for how the program works.
- Counseling & Progress Report: Throughout training, students have the opportunity to review and assess their progress through formal progress reports and counseling sessions with the Language Instructional Supervisor.
- Level Checks: Once students have completed each proficiency level, they can take advantage of achievement tests to see how well they have mastered their program before moving onto the next level.
- Certificate: Students are acknowledged for achievement of each proficiency level.
- Challenge to Next Level: Goals for continued learning are reassessed and the students are challenged to move to their next proficiency level.
|
| Throughout the Learning Cycle, the program is periodically monitored by the Berlitz Center’s Manager of Instruction for quality control. |
