Words Without Borders Campus Expansion
Published June 28, 2016
Posted By Denise Hill
Words Without Borders promotes cultural understanding
through the translation, publication, and promotion of
the contemporary international literature. Words Without
Borders Campus brings that literature to high school
and college students, teachers, and professors. On their
website, you’ll find fiction, poetry, and essays from around
the world, along with resources for understanding it, ideas
for teaching it, and suggestions for further exploration.
Most of the literature presented comes from the online
magazine, Words without Borders. Words Without Borders
Campus is asking for your help to reach more students and
add new countries and literature to their site. With their
collections of literature from Mexico, China, Egypt, and
Japan, WWB Campus has already reached more than 1,500
high school and college students in the United States and
throughout the world, with access to their site remaining
completely free
To take their program to the next level, WWB Campus
is asking its supporters -- readers, educators, and even
students – for help with a new crowd-funding campaign
and to spread awareness of WWB Campus. WWB Campus
would like to double the number of students reached,
adding new features to the website, and introducing
literature from more countries (Russia, Iran, and West
Africa are in the plans). For more information about how
you can help, visit the WWB Campus website. You don’t
have to donate money - using the site and spreading the
word about it helps too.

So you’ve decided to watch a children’s cartoon to improve your English. That’s a great idea! Here’s why:
TEXT II
Hilarious and Entertaining
You turned on the TV looking for a good English show for
learning English, and a kid’s cartoon is on. Wait, don’t
change the channel! There’s so much you can learn from
children’s content.
You can use children’s cartoons for learning English just as
well as other shows or movies.
Sometimes they’re even better! We know what you’re
thinking… “Aren’t Cartoons Just for Kids?”
“Not at all!”
Many cartoons are fun for all ages to watch. Not all cartoons
are for kids, either—“The Simpsons” and “Family Guy”
might be cartoons but they both contain a lot of violence
and inappropriate jokes that are definitely not for children.
Even some cartoons that are for kids have several layers
that can give them a completely different meaning when an
adult watches them. For example, just this one short clip
from “Adventure Time” has themes of marriage, love, loss
and scary stalkers (people who follow you everywhere).
A child might find it silly, but an adult may think it’s even
disturbing!
Why Learn with Cartoons?
So you’ve decided to watch a children’s cartoon to improve your English. That’s a great idea! Here’s why:
1) Voice actors on cartoons enunciate clearly. That means
they pronounce their words well so that everyone can
understand them.
2) Many children’s cartoons focus on social interactions, so
you can hear some real world conversations and phrases.
3) Children’s cartoons use words that are simple enough
for low level English learners to understand, but also throw
in plenty of challenging new words for more advanced
learners.
4) If you’re watching a show for very young children, these
shows are often repetitive—they repeat words, phrases and
even whole sentence structures.
5) They’re usually short, about 20 minutes long. Sometimes
each episode is split into two halves of 10 minutes each.
6) There are cartoons that are made specifically for learning
new words and phrases!
7) Cartoons are perfect if you’re looking for a fun way to
learn. And speaking of fun…
8) They’re fun to watch!

What’s in a name?
There are numerous terms to describe the process of learning
English. In many English speaking countriesit is often referred
to as ‘English as an additional language’ or ‘English language
learning’. The distinctive position in these contexts is for
learners to acquire English alongside other subjects. This
approach has proved very popular in the US, Canada, Australia
and the UK, where over 25 years of research has informed a
political agenda that promotes inclusion. In other areas, such
as the Middle East, the term ‘English as another language’
has been coined to reflect the notion of children from
minority ethnic backgrounds, who already have experience
of using their own home languages and are learning the
official language of the country, as well as learning English.
In many other countries around the world, readers are
likely to be familiar with the concept of learning ‘English as
a foreign language’, where learning of English takes place in
a non-English speaking context. In EFL classrooms there is a
general aspiration for exposing learners to English as a ‘living
language’, providing natural opportunities to practise target
language through the use of authentic texts. In this case,
the role of technology can provide a significant addition to
the other more conventional tools (blackboards, textbooks,
cassette players) that are found in classrooms around the
world. Technologies like the internet can provide access to
large quantities of authentic input material. Teachers and
learners are no longer isolated from the target language
or culture and can ‘… participate in the socially mediated
practices of [the target language] community.’ (Kirsch, 2008:
46). Even if learners do not have direct access to the internet
in their classrooms, or at home, teachers often do have and
can provide additional resources to supplement the material
offered via conventional means.
