AI for language learning.

Pearson is one of the world’s leading learning companies, helping people to upskill in school and the workplace. As a driving force in educational innovation, Pearson has turned its hand to improving the way professionals around the world learn languages.

For example, only 48% of employees feel confident speaking English at work, Pearson’s research shows. The ability to not only speak the language but to do so fluently and confidently is often a great advantage to professionals’ career development and the ability of global organizations to succeed on the world stage.

To help, Pearson turned to UneeQ to create an innovative form of language learning using AI role-play and our digital human platform.

AI language learning for professional development.

Pearson’s AI language tutor is a new way to improve how professionals learn—and master—new languages.

The digital human allows people to roleplay speaking English in a safe and stress-free environment. In real-time, users can hold lifelike conversations that simulate interactions they have in the workplace—from giving pitches to performance reviews.

Most importantly, by learning through the AI tutor, they gain confidence in their growing language skills, receiving personalized feedback and avoiding the anxiety of practicing with a real person.

Real-life conversations, real-time application.

Driving Pearson’s AI language tutor is our leading digital human platform.

Roleplay has to be realistic to be effective. Behind all of our digital humans is our synthetic animation system, Synanim™, which powers how the digital human interacts, reacts, and animates in the moment.

Synanim™ autonomously controls everything from facial expressions to breathing rate and full-body gestures. For Pearson’s AI tutor, this means every conversation simulates having a conversation with a real person, every time—only without the performance anxiety.

What are the benefits?

An AI tutor with a difference.

At launch, Pearson’s AI language tutor is designed to help across 60 workplace-specific training scenarios, with 1,800 role-play variations.

These scenarios are designed to have a lasting impact across a broad range of workplace situations—including how to pitch with impact, how to sharpen critical thinking, how to host meetings effectively, and how to build soft skills like empathy in communication.

With the combination of Pearson’s educational expertise and UneeQ’s leading digital human platform, everyone now has an effective and innovative way to level-up their language skills in a way that has a lasting impact.
