Talking comic strips are perfect for language learners

  A mix of colorful visuals, speech bubbles and audio content is the perfect combination for language acquisition. You can use the talking comic strips to teach specific grammar points, introduce a new topic, summarize a unit, the sky is the limit. Students will love creating their own talking comic strips as well. The image that you see here in the left is one panel of  a talking comic strip. Click here  or on the picture to see and hear the full size talking comic strip  My talking comic strip provides a general explanation of how it was created using free web 2 tools Glogster/ Toondoo and Audacity a free open source software for recording and editing sounds.   Be sure to turn up your speakers to hear the sound.
