Getting Started with BrainPOP ELL
BrainPOP ELL is BrainPOP’s comprehensive English language learning program, taking students from beginner level to advanced. It features animated movies that model conversational English while seamlessly introducing grammar concepts and vocabulary words. Accompanying the movies are a range of features designed to underscore the movie’s lessons, including Flash Words (interactive vocabulary flash cards); Word Play (enrichment vocabulary activity); Read It (reading comprehension passages and quiz); Write It (guided writing); Hear It, Say It (pronunciation exercise); and a game-like quiz.
Based on everyday social situations and including academic content, the leveled movies and their supporting features build upon each other while giving students the confidence they need to communicate in English. An online placement test assesses students’ respective language skills to identify where in the linear program they should begin.
