Welcome to RosettaStone!

Rider University is pleased to provide our students, faculty and staff with access to RosettaStone, the world’s leading language-learning software. Accessible through Easypass authentication on campus, at home or wherever you are in the world, RosettaStone’s over 30 languages come to you free of charge.

Through RosettaStone’s Dynamic Immersion © approach to language learning, which combines advanced technology with native speakers and real-life images, you can gain listening, speaking, reading and writing competencies at all levels of language acquisition and have fun in the process.

RosettaStone’s uses are limited only by your imagination. International students and faculty can improve their English skills. Faculty members might wish to assign RosettaStone so that students gain a basic familiarity with the languages related to course content. Instructors leading short-term travel projects abroad may want students to learn the language of the country of destination to promote student interaction with the local population. Research, teaching and travel abroad are all enhanced through the acquisition of basic foreign-language competency. Given the multi-cultural tapestry of New Jersey and the tri-state area, with over 25% of the New Jersey population speaking another first language than English, Rosetta Stone is a tool for use in your place of work and the town you live in.

For instructors wishing to use RosettaStone in the classroom, teacher guides for English and Spanish are available on reserve in Moore and Talbott libraries.
