Interversity Quotes"I think it's time to ask the Standardistos: Where's the test for compassion? For honesty? For curiosity? For moral commitment? Until they can answer, let's tell them to shut up." —Susan Ohanian (One Size Fits Few: The Folly of Educational Standards) Interversity ProjectsEchoes of Orwell:The purpose of this webforum is to promote a lively discussion among students and faculty alike about George Orwell's 1984 and the parallels or echoes found in today's society. |

I teach English language learners. My ELL's have access to reading that they wouldn't have access to without tapes because their listening comprehension (often, but not always)is far better than their reading comprehension (I work with "long-term" bilinguals). They don't just listen....They are required to follow along in their books, and I walk around to make certain that their fingers or bookmarks are where they tape is. Also, we often reread sections of what we read with the tape to find evidence for something, etc. We just finished The Giver which my kids loved (I did lots of scaffolding). They could not have gotten through it without the tape. I think tapes hold great promise for kids with poor reading comprehension, and I would love to see some research on using audio books in the classroom. Hurriedly..... -----Original Message----- From: middle-lit-owner@interversity.org [mailto:middle-lit-owner@interversity.org] On Behalf Of Holly Kendrick Sent: Thursday, June 08, 2006 8:16 PM To: middle-lit@interversity.org Subject: [middle-lit] Using audiobooks/texts How do you feel about using audio books or texts of a short story, poem or novel in the classroom to increase comprehension and vocabulary acquisition? I am doing research for a possible thesis topic. Does it even merit discussion? So many teachers that I've talked to believe that it makes reading too easy for students. --------------------------------------------------- Archives-> http://interversity.org/lists/middle-lit/archives.html --------------------------------------------------- Thanks to the folks who help keep Interversity (and Middle-Lit) going: http://interversity.org/benefactors.html
