Learn Through Comics..The Fun Way !!


Team: Sridevi, Akanksha, Indira, Jyothi, Pushpa

Writing comics is a fun way to learn a language!

This amazing site http://www.writecomics.com/ allows you to create your own comics within a few minutes.  Plus, you don’t even need to register.


It’s great to do with your own students in the computer room or , alternatively ,set this task as homework . This is an application ideal for all the grades. It helps to build the language skills. It is also a great site for teaching foreign languages.

Create your very own comic strip:
Choose a background by clicking on your choice
Choose the people or the animals. You can also add props and/or aliens
Then, the speech bubbles, as many as you need
Type the text
If you change your mind about something, double-click to delete it
Add as many scenes as you need
A minus point of this website is that you cannot save or embed your comic strip. You can however, copy the url or use a screen capture program to take a picture of it and then embed into your blog.

Things to do in class: By using comic strips, you can:
 Practice tenses
 Write role-plays
 Conduct an interview

So, what are you waiting for ? Comic away !!

Web as a source of learning a language

For learning a foreign language or rather any other language, it is very important for the teacher as well as a student to do a lot of research, listen to audio files for the improvement of listening, speaking as well as catching up with the accent of the native speakers. Activity and project-based learning motivates students and inculcates interest in learning languages more efficiently. The most efficient and useful website for research and learning is www.google.com through which one can find many web sites such as www.bbc.co.uk, www.childtopiacom and so on, which motivate for a qualitative and quantitative learning, sharing and research process.
