Pearson\u2019s Digital Language Tutor addresses this gap by leveraging advanced AI and patented technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Available on the Mondly by Pearson app, the tutor offers highly realistic, personalised training underpinned by trusted learning science. AI-powered tutors provide coaching on a range of common workplace scenarios, such as discussing a project, persuading a client, facing a teamwork challenge, or justifying a business decision.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This launch builds on a successful pilot program conducted with corporate clients across Asia, Europe, the Middle East and Latin America. Leading organisations in technology, business services and education tested the digital tutors across a six-week period. <\/em><em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>A key benefit identified during the pilot is that practicing with a digital tutor offers employees a safe space to build confidence without fear of making mistakes. The pilot also uncovered challenges employees face in improving English proficiency, including a lack of confidence practising in the workplace and difficulty finding time to learn alongside professional demands.<\/em><br><br>\u201cAs AI reshapes the workplace, people are working in increasingly globalized environments where strong communication, teamwork and empathy are just as critical as technical skills,\u201d said <strong>Giovanni Giovannelli, President of Pearson\u2019s English Language Learning Division<\/strong>. \u201cPoor communication already costs the average organization $62.4 million annually<a id=\"_ftnref2\" href=\"#_ftn2\">[2]<\/a>, underscoring the need for solutions like the Digital Language Tutor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDeveloped in collaboration with our customers, we created a flexible, on-demand tool designed to meet the demands of the modern workplace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This launch is part of Pearson\u2019s mission to harness the power of learning science and AI to close workplace skills gaps and help businesses unlock their employees\u2019 full potential,&#8221; Giovannelli added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within the pilot, 97% of corporate employees felt optimistic about Pearson\u2019s Digital Language Tutor supporting their English learning and development. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One pilot participant noted: \u201cI enjoyed the conversation as if I were speaking to a real person.
