Learning English as an Additional Language
The Importance of Supporting English as an Additional Language (EAL) When people learning English as an additional language struggle with reading comprehension, it can often be attributed to their difficulty with understanding the vocabulary. Many studies report that low academic language skills are associated with low academic performance. (Baumann, Edwards, Font, Tereshinski, et al, 2002; Biemiller & Boote, 2006; Carlo, August, McLaughlin, Snow, et al, 2004) How do Assistive Reading Tools Help EAL?
The LingoPen, Connect and ReaderPen are assistive reading tools which make learning English as a second language that much easier for both children and adults alike. Featuring text to speech technology, the pens let you scan words and lines of text from a range of documents to be read aloud in your native language. Comparing ReaderPen™, Connect™ and LingoPen™
Our pens have a diverse range of features, with each catering to the needs of all readers and learners. We’ve created a handy comparison chart with all our pens so you can decide which one is right for you. The Repetition Cycle
When learning a language, everyone has different methods to make studying easier. The repetition cycle is one such way to learn new words effectively. Say the wordStudents repeat
