ELL Technologies Achieves Significant Milestone With First U.S.-Based Customer

TORONTO, Feb. 12, 2020 /CNW/ - Lingo Media Corporation (TSX-V: LM; OTCQB: LMDCF) ("Lingo Media" or the "Company"), an EdTech company that is 'Changing the way the world learns English' through innovative online and print-based technologies and solutions, is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, ELL Technologies Ltd.

Liberty University is one of the largest private, non-profit universities in the United States and one of the largest Christian universities in the world. Liberty attracts students from around the world and currently hosts approximately 700 international students from 70 countries at its campus in Lynchburg, VA. Including its online programs, Liberty serves more than 100,000 students. English proficiency is a challenge and a critical success factor for many Liberty students.

English for Success is an interactive language learning solution designed for students from the beginner English proficiency level to the upper-intermediate level. The EFS library of resources includes more than 1,700 lessons, 40,000 audio clips and a unique speech recognition capability to help students with pronunciation. English For Success' learning management system enables instructors to monitor each student's progress and assign tailored lessons based on their individual needs.

"We are very excited to work with Liberty University as they seek to expand their reach to attract foreign students who require better English proficiency to their university," said Gali Bar-Ziv, President & CEO of Lingo Media. "We view the selection of our product by an acclaimed university like Liberty as an important endorsement and an indication of the potential opportunity that exists for our solutions in the United States."

"We are pleased to be able to offer our foreign students a proven solution to help them improve their English skills at their own pace and according to their unique needs," said Dr. William Wegert, Dean of International Student Programs, Liberty University. "ELL Technologies' offering stood out among the products we considered due to its robust content library and unique customization features."

Liberty University's Center for Professional & Continuing Education ("CPCE") selected English for Success after completing a thorough evaluation of alternatives.
