Educational Success Stories

Here are a few examples of DynEd in schools and universities.

Universidad Technolgica Nacional

Buenos Aires, Argentina: Since 2003, this University has built a successful extension program around DynEd programs. In a highly competitive market, they positioned their program as a novel English learning method. Using an underutilized 40 computer language lab in a nearby school, and selecting DynEd's New Dynamic English as their main syllabus, they were able to put their program on the map. Enrollment has steadily increased, mainly by word of mouth.

Most of their students use the language lab on a self-access basis, either before or after class, or any other day of the week. Students with busy schedules can also study at home with a home study version for a small additional fee.

According to Jorge Neiman, the program's director, "The benefits obtained from the use of DynEd's products far outweigh the time and effort spent on training teachers and coaching learners to correctly use the programs. The success of our English learning program is largely due to our commitment to integrate technology with instructor-led courses, creating a powerful and efficient learning method."

DynEd Adopted by Turkish Ministry of Education for Grades 4-8

English has been identified as a national priority in Turkey, and DynEd's blended approach was viewed as the best way to scale up to meet this critical need. There are approximately 8.5 million students in these five grades in 22,000 schools around the country, but DynEd expects to reach only about 5 million who have access to computers in school at this time.

Bahçelievler Nebahat Keskin Elementary School

Ankara, Turkey: In a 3 month pilot study conducted by the Turkish Ministry of Education, 98 students in 4 classes rated DynEd highly. Plans are now underway for the integration of DynEd programs into schools throughout Turkey.

In comparison, only 14.3% of the students said they want to study English in a classroom (without DynEd).
