Short Comics with Idioms

Idioms are a significant part of the English language that many ESL students find hard to understand. By offering visual/audio short comic clips to students, it will provide a more meaningful and engaging language learning experience for the students. Too often do you see idioms presented to ESL students through textbooks, role playing, or 'out-dated' videos. By using this site, GoAnimate you are able to create your own comic clips and modify them to fit the needs of your current students interests and level.  I found this site very easy to use and immediately thought of idioms when creating a story line. 

The title of my comic clip is called Shy George. Just like my previous post using the Animoto site, you are able to create a free account using limited tools.  The pricing site is located on the, Our Plans for Personal Use Link where you can explore a variety of pricing plans to use personally or within a business or school district. I find this website to be very useful and engaging for students to watch and/or create their own!
