New to English - Activities

New to English offers a wide range of activities for English language learning. With a user-friendly interface, children independently navigate through the activities, building confidence as they work at their own pace. The activities are also very effective when used with a group of children to encourage social interaction.

Each CD includes all of the following activities:

This activity introduces the learner to the new vocabulary of the area they are in. When a hot-spot on the picture is clicked, the name of the object is spoken and a close up of the object and its name are shown.
