New Research Reveals “Second-Language Anxiety” Is Causing Employees to Stay Silent, Miss Opportunities and Underperform at Work
Chegg's Busuu service, with over 120 million registered users, launched a new experience combining AI coaching and human tutoring aimed at workplace language performance rather than pure language learning.
The launch is accompanied by a survey of more than 1,000 Busuu workplace learners across 64 countries reporting widespread 'second-language anxiety,' including 25% of professionals staying silent despite having something to contribute.
The new experience is in pilot and broadly available from the end of October; no financial figures or guidance were disclosed, so the near-term revenue impact on Chegg is unknown.
