Who Are We?
Cutting Edge
Speech-Processing
Technology
All BurlingtonEnglish courses and
Extensions feature the BurlingtonEnglish
SpeechTrainer®. This highly advanced
speech-processing technology was
developed by Burlington specifically for
language learning.
The SpeechTrainer analyses students’
spoken English at phoneme level, and
corrects mispronunciations through
individualised training – all in real time.
Students effectively improve their
pronunciation and comprehensibility, and
acquire the confidence needed to
successfully communicate in English.
In creating the SpeechTrainer,
BurlingtonEnglish collected and analysed
millions of recordings of native speakers of
many different languages, enabling its
software to adapt to a wide variety of
accents and to discern specific difficulties
based on each student’s native tongue.
The Burlington Group is one of Europe’s
largest and most respected publishers of
English-language teaching materials, with over
two million students learning English from its
books, multimedia programs and speechtraining software.
BurlingtonEnglish, an online digital solution
for language learning, features Burlington’s
cutting-edge, proprietary and patented
speech technologies. Burlington offers
universities, FE colleges, language learning
centres and intensive English programmes in
the UK, Europe, the Americas and Asia the
most advanced online platform in the world
for learning English.
The Burlington Group employs over 500
people in its offices located throughout
the world.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT
BURLINGTONENGLISH
An Amazing Blended Language Programme for EFL and ESOL
“BurlingtonEnglish is a valuable learner resource. It works best when the teacher creates a strong link between
BurlingtonEnglish in the classroom and BurlingtonEnglish at home. The continuity between in-class and
home-study material reinforces learning.”
Edward Seddon, Curriculum Team Manager at Chichester College, UK
“BurlingtonEnglish is an amazing blended language programme. I have seen incredible results with my students.
This programme encompasses all facets necessary to learn a second language. I highly recommend this programme
to anyone hoping to learn English in an expedient and effective manner.”
Adriana Rodriguez-Soto, MDCPS Teacher, USA
Transnational Projects & International Student Support
“BurlingtonEnglish provided our institution with a groundbreaking and cost-effective blended learning platform
from which to build and extend our transnational projects with Asian and Latin American academic institutions.
Burlington worked closely with us to integrate the platform into our own programme delivery in a way that both
enhanced the student experience and added value to our course.”
Peter Walker, Director of Commercial & International Development at Guildford College of Further & Higher Education, UK
“Our students were massively impressed with the sophistication of BurlingtonEnglish. Students are really
motivated to get the four green bars that show them they’ve mastered a word or a line in a dialogue. This
self-based study adds enormous value to our classroom work. In a class, it’s very difficult to give every student
individual feedback on all their pronunciation. However, with BurlingtonEnglish our students can receive specific
feedback on every word.”
Peter Brown, Director of International Operations at Chichester College, UK
“We’re delighted to add BurlingtonEnglish to our award winning wrap-around support package for all our
international learners here in the UK and beyond. The comprehensive online system provides flexible, targeted
support and fits perfectly with our ethos of personalised learning for all. During the AoC International Charter
process, BurlingtonEnglish was highlighted as a key resource in demonstrating Telford’s commitment to our
learners.”
Liz Gunn, Head of International College at Edinburgh’s Telford College, UK
Relevant Career-Oriented Curriculum
“One of our students from Mexico went on to take the nursing certification test, and earned the highest
possible score. BurlingtonEnglish really helped her pass that test. We’re very proud of her.”
Luci Mello, ESL Program Developer/Trainer at Indian River State College, USA
Access to Learning
“With BurlingtonEnglish, I have found the way to teach English. I have given my staff the means to really
learn in a way that fits into their schedules. I see the learning, I see the results. BurlingtonEnglish has been a
good investment.”
Antonio Mir Montes, Director of Vocational Training at Xabec Vocational Training Centre, Spain
“We needed a distance-learning solution to keep our students in the class. Our class was five days a week.
Monday through Wednesday, students met in person, and Thursdays and Fridays they used BurlingtonEnglish.
Being virtual meant higher participation.”
Stuart Mears, Adult Public Education Specialist for Palm Beach County Public Schools, USA
Student Retention in Adult Education
“Our students were in control of their learning, and that motivated them. The programme was engaging, and
the specialised tracks very beneficial. As a result, they stayed in class.”
Veronica Pavon-Baker, Miami-Dade Public Schools, USA
