Open English is a language training company that specializes in teaching English to Spanish speaking students. Open English Offers 50 Free Licenses to Each LINGOs Member, which are not turned off so the student can continue using them after the end of the year.
* Students have access to standard Open English Customer Support, as detailed on
www.openenglish.com .
* Students do not have free access to Open English live coaching.
* Licenses are not transferrable. Once a student sets up the account, you will NOT be able to have another student use that license even if they leave the organization.
* Students should ONLY be Spanish speaking students who are learning English.
To receive promotional codes, the administrator for the LINGOs Member agency will need to email
licenses@lingos.org. Students must be employees of a member agency to use this training.
To use the promotional code, go to
www.openenglish.com and you will find ACTIVATE LICENSES on the top of the screen. If you can't find this, we have included a picture of the screen with the exact field circled in the Shared Documents section of this site. If the student registers for a FREE TRIAL they will receive access for 30 days. We cannot upgrade them over so they will need to re-register for the Open English training, this time using the license.
Reporting on Usage: Is provided in our key contacts page QUARTERLY only to member agency key contacts. We do not provide you with student details, but you have the rolled up data and raw data to see how the students are doing. You can look up a student by the access code that you gave them. Go to:

Reported problems: Minor problems with English180 have in general been because students don't understand how to log in. If you have a student who is having problems, they can either go to the customer support site at English180 or simply issue a new promotional code and ask them to log in again. (They will lose their student data so depending on where they are.) The other reported problem has been with Cuba banning acces and there's no way around that one!
