Audio Books!

Old_book Are you carrying around a thick textbook everyday and you don’t have an I-pad or tablet PC of some kind, but you really want to read a book? So, if you only have a smart phone, the game is over… Well not anymore!

You can also use an Audio-book which is a recording of a text being read. It can be used not only on a Smart phone but also a PC or mp3 player.

There was an event, “Invitation to the Library” in the Woosong library on October 23th~25th. At the event, they introduced the “Audio book”. One of the students who was interested in it said,

“I didn’t know that the sound of an audio book was really clear and good sounding like this so much!! I hope Woosong continuously provides more content like this.” (22, Ju Eun Song)

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF AN AUDIO BOOK?

Audio books have special features compared to text books including Dramatic features, Convenience, and Effective language. .

Dramatic Features

Audio books have audionman PD which participates with the audio actor and makes the sound effects. It processes a sort of “striking display” effect. It‘s different from reading a text book because it is more active and helpful for concentration.

Convenience

For the Audio book, you can enjoy a book wherever, or whatever time is good for you regardless of the time or place. You can use it especially, during the times when most people are wasting time. For example, time at school or home, walking around, and driving. You can use these times wisely.

Effective Language

When you study a foreign language, it is important to listen many times. Using Audio books, you could listen anytime or several times. In addition, you get accustomed to hearing original pronunciation and learning adequate situational sounds. Moreover, it influences your memory for remembering efficiently.
