Case Study: Navarro College achieves improved adult ESL proficiency and higher completion rates with Rosetta Stone

Navarro College - Customer Case Study

Navarro College, a community-focused higher-education institution, needed a way to boost proficiency for adult ESL learners preparing for the GED. The college struggled to improve oral and written skills across a linguistically diverse student body, meet Texas BEST Plus oral-score targets, and extend practice beyond limited classroom hours—complicated by many students’ lack of home computers.

Navarro implemented Rosetta Stone Language Lessons Version 3 as a state‑approved distance-learning supplement, providing campus lab access and using Administrator Tools to track progress. Over one year the program drove measurable gains: a 25% increase in enrollment, a 46% rise in students completing one level, 56% more time on task, and a 300% increase in licenses, alongside stronger oral and writing performance, earlier achievement of performance measures, and greater student confidence and classroom communication.
