Rapid globalization is fueling the need for language learning and training and driving the demand in the global cloud-based language learning market. The increasing mobility of human capital in industries such as tourism, trade, media, international relations, science, and technology is propelling the need for language web courses. The rising requirement to learn the global and native languages will enable effective interaction with the local workforce and result in smoother business operations. The advent of the internet revolutionized the language learning process and simplified training methods in the form of audio recordings, CDs, DVDs, and websites that provide content just like classrooms and allows the student to learn at their convenience. The emergence of the learning management systems (LMS) has transformed the e-learning domain and offers complete packages such as documenting, administrating, tracking, reporting and delivering the content. The LMS tool facilities student registration, enrolment into courses, and delivery of teaching materials to students, student assessment, and progress monitoring. The availability of free tools and online repositories such as Wikipedia, YouTube, Slide Share, and iTunes that offer a large amount of content and learning applications for free is attracting a larger number of students. The adoption of cloud infrastructure that enables peer-to-peer problem solving, open content creation, and rapid expansion of the target audience will boost revenues in the market. The benefits associated with this technology model regarding security, agility, cost, and scalability will drive the rate of adoption in the global cloud-based language learning market.
