Will my English Learners be able to understand the stories?

Listenwise is a powerful tool to help your English learners build academic language while improving their listening and literacy skills.

Our ELD lessons are designed specifically for English Learners at lower levels of English language proficiency (beginner and low intermediate). This curated collection of lessons features podcasts and videos designed to develop academic language, build background knowledge, and provide exposure to authentic language in context. Explore the lesson collection here. 

If you teach multilingual learners, the general education lessons and current events are great for students at higher levels of English proficiency (intermediate to advanced). Explore our general education lesson here. Additionally, all ELD and general education lessons have English Language Learners standards. Explore more here.

All lessons include built-in scaffolds on the platform, such as interactive transcripts, slowed audio, and on-demand dictionaries. ELD lessons also include native language support on lessons and quizzes.
