LoudLit- Literature for Your Eyes and Ears

LoudLit.org Literature for your eyes and ears

 

I have found this web page and I think it's a useful link
because it provides literature work with audio, including novels,
poetry, short stories, historical text.
The masterpiece is presented on the screen and the readers can
click on "Read and Listen" to start their imaginative world.

and there's also an audio that can be downloaded into your 

MP3 player.  So you can listen to audio book anytime, anywhere.

Reading with eyes and ears helps learners link the words and sounds, 

and it also engages the readers in the writers' world.
If you use it with your students, you can make them learn spelling, punctuation, 

and the structure of the written work by reading, and at the same time, 

they can learn pronunciation, intonation when written work is presented 

by the audio form.

We can found Children's stories that are suitable for beginners to imitate 

the sentence patterns and the structure of the stories. 
Reading good writing works (input) helps learners create good writing 

works (output).

 

Some ways to use it in my classes would be:
If my classes are for beginners, I would introduce one of the children's stories, 

and ask them some questions about the stories, e.g. Who is the main character? 

What does the main character do?  And write down the main ideas on the 

blackboard.

Another idea would be to read the story first (without listening), and to 

encourage them to write down  some words they don't recognize, which affect 

the understanding of the story. 

I could encourage students to write down the words they don't know 

how to pronounce and the sentences they like.

I could have students in group to write 3-5 sentences to summarize
the story or change the outcome of the story.

I could also ask the students to read the story (or role play). 

In the case that the classes were for higher level students, I could choose 

certain chapter to have students read and listen in class, and then ask 

them some questions about the work.
