Our House ESL app for iPhone and iPad

Our House ESL app teaches 28 English words that students need to know about their own house. It will be very helpful for students if you write these words on pieces of paper, and fasten them to the proper items in your home.
The words are presented in five groups:
“At the table” shows items that appear on the table in most North American households (a glass, cups, forks, knives, plates and spoons). Items found in “the bathroom” are a toothbrush, a towel, soap, the shower, the toilet and toilet paper). Items that are found in “the bedroom” include the bed, the dresser, the lamp, the light switch and the pillow. “The family room” may contain a carpet, a chair, a couch, a television and an electric outlet. Found in “the kitchen” are pots, the microwave, the sink, the stove, the table and the toaster.
The app also teaches the various “articles” in English: the definite article (“the”) refers to a specific item or items; the indefinite article (“a” or “an”) refers to any item without specifying a particular one. We have not used an article when a word is plural, but you can use a definite article with a plural noun.
Of course there are many other words to be learned about things that are found in a house. Ask a member of your community if you need to know a particular word.

This suite of eight user-friendly apps is intended to introduce vocabulary to students who are learning English.
In all activities in each app, students will see a graphic, read the English word, and hear the word spoken by an accomplished teacher. Students are invited to participate in four activities: "Lets learn" (words are repeated with ample time for the student to practice saying them); "Lets practice" (a drag and drop activity matching printed words with pictures); "Lets play" (a game in which students match graphics and sound); and "Quiz" (students must choose the correct picture for a written and spoken word). Even young students who do not yet read will be able to use all activities because the sound is always attached to graphics and word boxes.
