*Important note: These charts are intended for use with the PENpal Audio Recorder Pen. If you do not already own a PENpal recorder PEN, you may add PENpal (with over 100 recordable stickers) at a discounted price when purchasing this chart.
These multilingual charts provide definitions, explanations and examples of key terms in English, Geography, Math & Science*. They are invaluable resources for teachers who support a linguistically diverse student body. Using these charts with the PENpal Audio Recorder Pen, newcomers and English Language Learners (ELLs) can hear key terms explained in their native languages, allowing for a
better understanding of content. Simply select the language that you
want to hear from the right side of the chart with the PENpal, and then tap a phrase to hear an explanation of the term
in the selected language. Teachers and students can also use "
talking labels" (recordable stickers that come with purchase of the PENpal) to make their own recordings and add them to the chart.
following languages are available on the chart: Arabic, Czech, English,
Farsi, French, Lithuanian, Mandarin Chinese, Panjabi, Polish,
Portuguese, Russian, Slovakian, Somali, Spanish, Sylheti, Turkish,
Urdu, Vietnamese and Yoruba.
[Note: Japanese & Korean are listed on the chart, but they will not work as the sound is not enabled for these languages. Gujarati language only works on the Science & English charts.]
