One tool for six languages

About the institution

Linguatec is one of Mexico’s established language school networks, teaching tens of thousands of students through a blended model that combines face-to-face classes with technology. Built on more than a decade of experience in language teaching, the school pairs classroom instruction with digital practice across its full catalogue of languages.

The challenge

For a language school, the languages beyond the flagship are the hardest to serve well. English programs have the most teachers, the most materials, and the most practice opportunities; students learning other languages often get less of all three – especially the speaking practice that fluency depends on. Linguatec wanted its students in all six of its other languages to have the same access to engaging, regular conversation practice, without the school having to scale a full teaching infrastructure for each one.

Why Talkpal

Talkpal covers all six of the languages Linguatec teaches beyond English, with the same speaking-first practice in each: students hold real conversations with an AI tutor at their own level, on any device, as often as they want. For students, it’s genuinely engaging – practice they choose to do rather than homework they avoid. For teachers, it works as a classroom complement: the AI carries the repetition and confidence-building between classes, and teachers build on that practice in the room.

“An exceptional tool for our language courses beyond English – our students find Talkpal genuinely engaging, and our teachers rely on it as an effective classroom complement.”

– Sergio Millán, Director of Research and Development Projects, Linguatec

The outcome

With Talkpal woven into these courses, Linguatec offers strong speaking practice across all six of its non-English language programs – not only where teacher supply is deepest. Students stay engaged, teachers have a complement they trust, and every one of those languages gets the same quality of conversation practice.
