ESL and Archie Comics

Ok, I don't know about you all, but I've always loved Archie comics. I was floored to find this resource today.

This is an ESL podcast complete with comic, audio, transcript, and "learning guide". I think it's pretty neat.

There is also an option to see the Spanish version of the comic, which might be interesting to the Spanish teachers out there (though no other resources are available in Spanish). I suppose that you could create a Spanish version of this resource. Who knows, you might even be able to get permission to use these from the company.

  1. Hi Dan,

    Interactive web comics are a great way to engage and motivate students to learn new languages. If you're interested in creating comics online, check out Pixton.com.

    You can design every aspect of your character, and move it into any pose you want. All you have to do is click-and-drag to change or reposition any part of it - the creative and artistic possibilities are endless!

    Share with others, embed in your blog or remix comics to add your own twist. Read comics in over 40 languages, with our automatic translation by Google. Our language filtering system helps make Pixton fun for all ages.

    We welcome you to try it and tell us what you think. Sign-up is free!

    thanks,
