Disney Publishing Worldwide Launches Digital Language Learning Product
By Tengku Noor Shamsiah Tengku Abdullah
SINGAPORE, March 19 (Bernama) -- Disney Publishing Worldwide (DPW), the
world’s largest publisher of children’s books and magazines, will increase its
presence in the digital learning space with its first language learning product.
"Language Learning Read Along: Toy Story 3" will expand DPW’s existing base
of educational products with an innovative approach based on the company’s long
history of teaching English.
The app will be available in the US, China, Singapore and 25 additional
countries throughout Europe and Asia.
"As digital media continues to impact the way children learn, it is up to us
to create products that enhance that learning experience," said DPW President
Russell Hampton.
"Disney is all about bringing the most creative content to children and
families around the world through innovative technology.
"Our Language Learning app delivers on that goal while allowing children to
read and learn wherever, whenever, and however they want on their mobile
devices," he said here Monday.
This app is the first in a series of leveled Disney storybooks that combine
Disney magic with proven language learning methods where children learn key
English and Mandarin vocabulary and grammar.
This first app story contains multiple versions of the beloved Disney-Pixar
title Toy Story 3, which gradually transforms from English to Chinese, mixing
the new with the known by playing with 5 levels of the story.
