OTWO AS A LEARNING RESOURCE: SUPPORTING ADULT EDUCATION AT CEPER TRECE ROSAS
At OTWO Magazine, we are always proud to see our publication being used as a meaningful tool in educational settings. One such example is the Las Trece Rosas Continuing Education Centre CEPER TRECE ROSAS, which offers non-formal educational programmes for adult learners. In February, the centre introduced several copies of OTWO into its classrooms, embracing the magazine as a valuable resource for English language learning within the context of continuing education.
CEPER TRECE ROSAS recognises OTWO as a dynamic and accessible tool for second language acquisition. With its bilingual format— featuring English texts accompanied by translations in the learners’ native language— the magazine provides immediate and clear understanding of content. This structure not only eases comprehension but also strengthens language acquisition, particularly for adult learners who benefit from contextualised and directly accessible materials.
The magazine ' s diverse range of topics— from culture and travel to science and technology— resonates with adult students, engaging them with content that is both relevant and stimulating. By exploring subjects that are current and personally meaningful, learners are able to expand their vocabulary in areas that matter to them. This engagement enhances motivation, a key factor in long-term language retention and success.
One of OTWO’ s defining features is its ability to reduce learners ' dependence on dictionaries or external translation tools. Readers are able to quickly refer to the bilingual layout for clarification of unfamiliar terms, promoting a more intuitive and effective learning experience. This format helps build strong associations between new vocabulary and meaning, supporting both comprehension and confidence.
In addition, the magazine offers a rich variety of text styles, from informative articles to personal reflections. This exposure to different registers and forms of expression helps students navigate the nuances of real-life communication. Encountering multiple viewpoints also encourages critical thinking and the development of analytical reading skills— important components of language proficiency.
For CEPER TRECE ROSAS, the inclusion of OTWO has added a contemporary and globally connected element to the classroom. Much of the magazine’ s content is drawn from current events and real-world issues, helping learners engage with the world around them through the lens of language learning.
At OTWO Magazine, we are delighted to be part of the learning journey at CEPER TRECE ROSAS. Their use of our publication highlights how bilingual educational materials can inspire, inform, and empower adult learners. We remain committed to providing content that not only supports language development but also fosters curiosity, motivation, and lifelong learning.
