Matching Captions for English Understanding

ESL students learn best using visual, tactual and kinetic approaches. The Jazzles Voconics program is rich in such experiences.

Jazzles animated lyrics contain 417 useful words in connected text that makes sense, emphasizing nearly 75% of English words found in high fluency and sight word lists.

Jazzles Animation Screen - the Matching Captions provide a superior role in learning English to subtitles or close captions because the vision and the text are synchronized.

Fun not Anxiety! Practice but not Rote!

Every time ESL learners watch a Jazzles Song Animation with Matching Captions, they are emotionally and intellectually engaging with a complete mini-language package demonstrating Vocabulary, Comprehension, Print Awareness, Fluency, Phonemic Awareness and Alphabetic Principle.

Jazzles Song Animations enable ESL students to develop understanding of nouns, verbs and adjectives based on associations between images and the text familiarized in the Matching Captions.

The animations also provides visual references and prompts to master English facial expressions, emphatic gestures and descriptive gestures for public speaking.

has wide experience of helping
ESL children achieve rapid English Success by focusing on singing and music to create a anxiety-free learning environment.


Says Lesley Beth:
"I've taught hundreds of ESL children, mostly boat people, arriving from almost every country in the world.

They varied widely in their background education. Many were scarred from experiences with pirates, high seas and deaths.

In terms of family support, few of the parents could help them adjust to new schools and the challenges of making friends while also learning English.

From this, I realized the importance of creating happy learning environments enabling ESL students to 'open-up' and engage in regular classroom settings.

By creating a relaxed, enjoyable environment, Jazzles Voconics provides the scaffolding for true ESL inclusion and all the opportunities to develop the skills necessary for oral language and reading success.

With free trials, you have nothing to loose by giving your students the opportunity to try Jazzles. I hope you do and I will help you in whatever way I can.!

For ESL students, singing along to Jazzles Alliterative Matching Captions, transforms the usual passive-observation role of screen exposure that includes text, into interactive conscious and subconscious learning.

 

Research shows that if subtitles are on the screen, they are 'read' just like text in a book.

ESL children have enhanced comprehension by connecting the 'Matching Captions' to the visual explanation. Every time children sing and follow the words, they are intuitively learning reading skills while exercising both sides of their brain.

"Very Funny! Excellent Idea!"

Mixing cartoons and learning is very suitable for teaching Phonics to EFL learners ... even for adults as we all like watching cartoons! In Indonesia, where I teach EFL, the learners' first language (L1) differs significantly from English in terms of spelling and sounds.

For example, the letter 'c is always pronounced similar to the first sound of child, and the letter 'a' is always pronounced as 'ah'.

Jazzles Animations will be very helpful for the EFL learners to recognize the sounds and the corresponding letters in English,"

Says Dr. Kusumarasdyati, K. Ph.D., Lecturer at English Department, Surabaya State University, Indonesia. Dr. Kusumarasdyati is the author of the many research papers including the role of 'Subtitled Movie DVDs in Foreign Language Classes'.

 

Laugh and Sing and Your ESL Students Will Remember Everything!

From your own experience, you know what research proves! When you hear a familiar melody, you can easily recall the lyrics! Therefore, your brain is accessing words through the melodies.

Children believe in their ability to sing whereas the same level of confidence is not present in oral reading exercises - particularly for ESL or Special Needs students.

Until now, there has never been an English Singing product like Jazzles Voconics that packages everything together into an effective English reading resource.
