IPods, iBook laptops help students learn critical languages - Cindy Weiss
Michael Crutchfield, a senior majoring in political science and sociology, decided this year to add Mandarin Chinese to his course load so he can teach English in China after graduation. His tools include a textbook, web-based resources, and an iPod. When you’re trying to learn a language, “you need as many resources as you can get,” says Crutchfield. “The iPod makes it easier.” Starting this semester, students studying Chinese and Arabic have been issued iPods – those ubiquitous portable players – to allow them more frequent exposure to the language they are trying to learn.
