Are these slow speed audio books appropriate for people with English as Second Language?
Absolutely. We have had very positive feedback from places providing lessons for English as a Foreign or Second Language learners. Beginning ESL students often use speed levels 0 – 2. People who have been exposed to English for some time benefit from mid speed levels (speed level 3 – 6) as these slower than normal speeds help students with their pronunciation and intonation. A major issue for foreign language learners is the fast speed of the native language speakers. PLP Reading Kits help redress that problem.
