Introduce students to books above their reading level and audio books advantages

Model good interpretive reading and bilingual audio books benefits : First, while looking at what’s out there, consider all types of books. Don’t limit yourself to just one “scholarly” source or even a language learning text. With bilingual e-books, all reading genres are represented. Choose something that piques your interest. There’s no shame in starting “small”—what I mean is, keep it basic to begin with. You don’t need to grab “War and Peace” for your first e-book—or even your twenty-first. Children’s books or comic books are solid reading materials and both are available for bilingual e-reading.

Knowing a second language can widen future opportunities. It may seem like ages away, but fluency in a second language looks great on college applications and widens a young adult’s options. And in today’s interconnected world, being bilingual is a great resume booster and may open doors and offer them global opportunities down the road. Language offers insight into another culture.

Without attacking any church in particular, it spares none; it is more particularly directed towards the current attitudes and beliefs in the West, even if it is not limited to it. Throughout the chapters the apprentice guru learns how to find his revelation, or how to make prophecies and miracles, etc. Of course, the future guru also learns to do what every cult leader does with talent: how to shear the flock. If your church scores more than 3 positives, run away before drinking the Kool-Aid. The linguistic level is not high first because the audio book uses mainly the present of the indicative, then because the religious vocabulary varies very little from one language to another. And, I should say, from one religion to another. Find even more info on https://bilingualaudiobooks.com/titles/howtocreateyourcult.html.

One reason more audiobooks are not finding their way into classrooms is availability. Public libraries usually have a good quantity of audiobooks, but most school libraries have a limited number – audiobooks are expensive. The cost of cassette or CD players and headphones must also be taken into consideration, and though these costs have come down considerably in the last few years, schools typically do not budget funds for such purchases.

Learning Foreign Languages The Way You Learned Your Mother Tongue (aka: easy). When I was teaching French to foreign students I was always trying to smooth their learning path. In my on-going effort I ended up with the Bilingual Audio Book « BABook ». At last something new in the learning world, specially designed to make learning a foreign language a breeze. With Pierre (my husband and best supporter) we decided to run a test: from a podcast I had made we prepared a version that alternates English and French sentences, and invited friends’ children to listen to it.
