Educators are looking for effective ways to support these learners and help them achieve. They’re discovering that iPad is the ideal device for personalizing learning and strengthening language skills to ensure student success.  \nHow iPad can help  \nThe built-in features on iPad along with the breadth of available learning resources make it a valuable tool for supporting English-language learners (ELLs) . iPad allows students to immediately and independently start taking charge of their learning—at their own pace and tailored to their specific needs. It can become almost any tool students need—a camera, a translator, a book, a drawing canvas, a voice recorder—and so much more.  \niPad is both highly personal and inconspicuous—ELLs who carry iPad devices don’t feel singled out. They can practice language verbally on a device that’s intimate and customized for them, leveraging the power of language skill development through repetition.  \nEnglish learners can instantly create with iPad—they can draw, record audio, take pictures, and shoot video. Built-in creativity tools, as well as many third-party apps, provide diverse and authentic options for ELLs to improve their language skills, practice oral language, and communicate in a variety of ways.  \niPad supports students where they are in their learning journeys to meet their individual skills, interests, levels, and learning styles.  \nThis booklet provides a quick look at the built-in features on iPad that you can use to support ELLs. You’ll also find examples of outstanding learning materials, as well as activity ideas and stories from schools that are using iPad to help their English learners achieve.  \nEnglish-Language Learners: Learning with iPad | 2  \nBuilt-in features for  \nEnglish-language learners  \niPad includes many built-in features that can be used to support English learners. Here are some examples.  \nSpoken Text  \nWith Speak Selection, students can highlight text and use the Speak option to have the text read aloud, helping them to learn correct pronunciation. Learners can also use Speak Screen to read the entire contents on a screen. This both increases their exposure to language and helps them proofread text they’ve written.  \nAlex is Apple’s proprietary text-to-speech voice and is the most humansounding voice available. Alex actually reads a whole paragraph before beginning to speak. Alex knows when to pause and literally takes a breath, making it possible for ELLs to understand the text and its pronunciation.  \nWith the typing feedback feature, students can have a word spoken back to them once they’ve typed it, which confirms they’ve correctly spelled and written the word. This also reinforces English pronunciation of the word atthe time of typing it.  \nDictation  \nThanks to the built-in microphone and Dictation, learners are no longer limited by having to write or type their thoughts. Allowing students to talk instead of type helps them practice speaking, enunciating, and pronouncing words in English more effectively. Dictation works offline and doesn’t require an Internet connection, which is great for the mobile learner. Additionally, when students dictate in their native languages, teachers are better able to assess student thinking on the curricular topic—not just on language development. And teachers can use a translation app to convert the native language to English.  \nAdditional built-in features  \nSafari Reader  \nStudents can use Safari Reader to view a web page article in one page, optimized for easy reading and presented without ads, navigation, or other distracting items. They can adjust the font, font size, and background color, as well. This gives students greater confidence when reading the content on the page without becoming overwhelmed by distractions.  \nCommunication tools  \nEnglish learners can use iPad","cbCaifhsUmUbjcLW","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifhsUmUbjcLW","pdf",2976500,12,"English","# How iPad can help\n## Built-in features for English-language learners\n## Spoken Text\n## Dictation\n## Additional built-in features\n## Safari Reader\n## Communication tools\n## Content creation","[{\"question\":\"How does iPad help students support English pronunciation and correct reading aloud?\",\"answer\":\"Speak Selection and Speak Screen let students highlight text or read the contents of a screen aloud.
