About

Hello, I am the creator of elllo.org, which is dedicated to providing free extensive listening and reading practice to students and teachers around the world. I am very passionate about extensive reading and listening and happy to attend my fourth international Extensive Reading Conference.

Sessions

All levels How to create free, interactive, high-quality EL/ER materials for any level more

Sat, Aug 6, 14:00-14:20 Asia/Tokyo

This presentation will look at how teachers and educators can create high-quality extensive reading materials that can also work for extensive listening. Attendees will learn how to create graded readers by recording natural speech in the form of narrations, stories, and interviews. The presentation will then show how to use various free tools, such as Canva, PowerPoint and Google slides to transform audio into engaging and even interactive audio books and lessons. In addition, teachers will learn how students can create works of art to share with other students around the world. Lastly, the presentation will briefly show how educators can crowd source creation by recording audio and video of people (friends, family, coworkers, etc.) around the world and then transforming it into extensive reading and listening materials, particularly graded readers.
