Beelinguapp is an app where English is acquired through the parallel texts method. This method divides text-based content into two sections: the language the learner speaks and the language they want to learn. An audio option allows for hearing the text while reading along. Learners have access to a variety of free content that includes fairy tales, chapters from classic books, song lyrics, news articles on diverse topics and travel guides. The content is organized into four levels: materials that are appropriate for children, and adult beginner, intermediate and advanced levels. Although instructors may want to incorporate this app into their lessons, it is an excellent tool to use for independent learning as students can access the app easily on their mobile phones. The app is available for both Android and iOs.
