Administrators and Teachers can play individual activities in the Activity Explorer or Lesson Explorer using audio language support if the activity includes language support. Not all activities in Imagine Language & Literacy include audio language support: it's only available in activities where first language support is most needed to teach English language and literacy concepts to non-native speakers.
Note
The Placement, Benchmark, and Reading Level Assessments also have first-language audio support, but they cannot be previewed by educators.

To play an activity in Imagine Language & Literacy with audio language support:
- Log in to Imagine Language & Literacy.
- In the upper navigation bar, expand the Activity Explorer drop-down menu and then select Activity Explorer.
Note
You can also find activities via the Lesson Explorer, but using Activity Explorer is a more direct way to find a specific type of activity.
- Use the search feature or click through the tiles to find the activity you want to play, then click the activity name.
For example, in Activity Explorer, go to Phonological Awareness > Initial Phonemes and select one of the Discover Similar Sounds or Meet New Sounds activities.
- After the activity loads in your web browser, type &language=language at the end of the URL in the address bar, where language is the desired supported language. (For example, to play an activity in Spanish, type &language=Spanish at the end of the URL. To play an activity in Korean, type &language=Korean at the end of the URL.) You can type any of these languages at the end of the URL for any activities that include audio language support:
Audio Support Languages Arabic
Cantonese
French
HaitianCreole
Hmong
Japanese
Korean
MandarinMarshallese
PortugueseBrazil
Russian
Somali
Spanish
Tagalog
VietnameseTips
- So that the activity loads properly, be sure to capitalize the name of the language.
- If your browser "corrects" your capitalization and reverts the capital letter to lowercase, you may need to clear your browser history and cookies. Alternately, if you're using Chrome, you can copy and paste the URL into an incognito window to avoid this issue.
- Do not include a space between the words Haitian and Creole or Portuguese and Brazil.
- Press Enter to reload the activity URL with language support in the language that you specified.
- Click the pulsating Play button in the middle of the screen to play the activity.
