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!
