ESL HELP Files

We are continually adding additional languages to the audio ESL HELP feature of Read, Write & Type, to make the program a more useful tool for learning to read and write in English as a second language. Our CD Version 3.4 contains audio help files in Arabic, Malay and Spanish. We've now added audio help in Farsi, Japanese, Mandarin, Portuguese, Tagalog and Korean and will soon add help in Hindi and Vietnamese.

ESL Resources (284.4 MB)

To update your CD-based version of Read, Write & Type with the most current languages available, download the compressed folder on this page, titled ESL_Resources.zip , to your hard drive. Uncompress the folder, review the "READ ME" document inside the folder, and follow the directions.

READ ME DIRECTIONS:

This folder contains .PRD and .PRS help files for six languages: Arabic, Farsi, Japanese, Malay (Bahasa Melayu), Mandarin and Spanish. To add these help files to your Read, Write & Type program:

1. Highlight ALL the files in the folder
2. Copy and paste ALL the files into the "Resource" folder within the "Read, Write & Type" folder on your hard drive.
3. If asked if you want to replace any files with the same name(s) already in the "Resource" folder, choose "yes."

The next time you start Read, Write & Type, students will be able to choose and use ESL HELP in any of the languages available.
