Native Spanish-Speaking Students Sing Their Way to English Fluency

As Back-to-School season nears, teachers wonder how to best teach their Spanish- speaking students while Language Technology companies scramble to create products to meet public school systems' needs.

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) August 3, 2005 -- Each year in August urban school systems are inundated with children who do not speak English. It poses a particular problem for schools in Texas, California, and counties along the Mexico Border. Now language technology companies like American Language Solutions are coming up with innovative ways to teach English to native Spanish-speakers. They are encouraging students to sing their way to English fluency.

A representative for American Language Solutions stated, "I always get songs stuck in my head and I end up singing them all day. We thought wouldnt it be great if kids actually learned something from the songs that get stuck in their head. We realized that singing would be an excellent way to teach English to native Spanish-speakers and we created a program to teach English to school children thats almost entirely based on songs. Most other English as a Second Language programs have kids repeating and memorizing thousands of vocabulary words. School children dont want to spend time memorizing vocabulary words. They have enough stuff to memorize! Singing their way to English fluency is fun and it doesnt feel like work."

American Language Solutions flagship product, Ingles Para Todos, makes it possible for anyone in the family to learn English and can be purchased at www.americanlanguagesolutions.com. For more information on methods or products to teach English as a second language please contact Sarina Waugh.
