English for Latin America

Education Development Center (EDC) created the English for Latin America (ELA) program to teach English to youth across Latin America through interactive audio instruction (IAI). As the lead producer and co-designer, I managed a team of actors, producers, and musicians while also voicing one of the main characters and performing a song in the program.

What is Interactive Audio Instruction (IAI)?

IAI is a proven educational methodology that delivers both student learning and teacher training simultaneously. Designed for low-resource environments, IAI programs can reach learners in even the most remote areas using human-powered radios or MP3 players, eliminating the need for electricity.

Each ELA lesson includes:
🎵 An engaging song
🎭 A lively audio drama
📚 Interactive lessons reinforcing key learning objectives
