New Listening and Reading Public Assignments
Castle Learning courses in Spanish and French offer great practice and review questions on a wide variety of everyday topics. These topics include clothes, shopping, food, travel, health and safety, the arts, and much more!
New this month is a collection of public assignments focusing specifically on listening for factual information (specific details) or for the main idea of an audio selection. A variety of native language speakers are featured in the recordings. Audio controls allow students to pause, speed up, or slow down the recording, as well as to replay the selection as many times as needed.
Similarly, a new collection of public assignments focuses specifically on reading for factual information (specific details) or for the main idea. Many selections include everyday reading materials such as short articles, posters, announcements, menus, and schedules.
