The Animals ESL app teaches 28 English words for animals in five groups.
The “Farm animals” group teaches the words for six animals: a chicken, a cow, a goat, a horse, a pig, and sheep. “Pets” are a cat, a dog, a goldfish, a hamster (or guinea pig), and a rabbit. “North American animals” include a bear, a bison (or buffalo), a deer, a fox, a moose and a wolf. “Marine animals” are a dolphin, an octopus, a shark, a swordfish and a whale. The “African animals” are an elephant, a giraffe, a hippopotamus (We often simply say “hippo.”), a lion, a tiger, and a zebra.
Of course there are many other animals that are not included in this app. Ask a member of your community if you need to know a particular word, or use a translation program on the internet to find the English word.
This suite of eight user-friendly apps is intended to introduce vocabulary to students who are learning English.
In all activities in each app, students will see a graphic, read the English word, and hear the word spoken by an accomplished teacher. Students are invited to participate in four activities: "Lets learn" (words are repeated with ample time for the student to practice saying them); "Lets practice" (a drag and drop activity matching printed words with pictures); "Lets play" (a game in which students match graphics and sound); and "Quiz" (students must choose the correct picture for a written and spoken word). Even young students who do not yet read will be able to use all activities because the sound is always attached to graphics and word boxes.
