Using Children’s Books to Learn a Second Language

The Livemocha Methodology
We believe that language is not merely an academic subject but rather a performing art – something that must be actively practiced in order to master. A learner can watch people speak a new language, memorize all of the grammar rules, and talk about the language ad nauseam. But to truly speak a language, a learner must actually try it out with a partner. Real conversational fluency takes good instruction, a dose of courage, and a lot of real-life practice.

From tutoring individuals and teaching group lessons to creating instructional content or even using Livemocha in their own brick-and-mortar classrooms, teachers have the opportunity to bring their talents to learners worldwide.
