“English Learning Companion”

Objective and Benefits of the Initative

Dear Learners,

Welcome to the “English Learning Companion” program.

Wipro has partnered with one of the premier most international organizations called “Burlington

Education” for this program. Headquartered in the Netherlands, Burlington 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, digital books, multimedia programs and speech-training software.

Burlington has developed an innovative and a very interactive tool with speech recognition ability, called

“Burlington English” to help you improve on English Communication in all the four aspects namely,

Listening, Speakuuuuuuuing, Reading and Writing. This initiative will help you to improve your English

communication skills at your own convenience.

These units have been designed and prepared specially for the area of opportunity that you may have. We

have also ensured that your learning experience is FUN!!! Hence, all the activities on the tool are not only

interactive but situational based to help you feel comfortable in using English Language in different real

life scenarios, both at work and outside. In addition, the tool also supports 27 international languages to

make you feel at home while you continue learning English!

With our commitment to provide you state of the art technology and opportunity to improve your skills,

this program would also require a commitment of practice from your end. I am sure you would agree that

language skills require regular practice and rigor. Constant practice of the activities on the tool would

have a tremendous impact on your oral and written skills, both of which have become an important ask in

the business world.

We wish you the best for your commitment towards this program.

Happy Learning!
