FABULA is a software creates in relation to the minority languages for helping children to learn and create bilingual digital books. The languages involved in this project are Spanish - Basque, English - Welsh and French - Friesian. (FABULA is concentrated on European Languages of lesser diffusion)
The use of text books is considered a powerful tool in this research, but it is explained that the use of softwares for teaching English to minority speakers of a language was the main target of some teachers, considering that written resources are expensive.
Creators believe that bilingual books are more interesting when thy become digital, because they can be improved adding audio or other interactive elements, and the main technical characteristic of this software is that it is very easy to use it.
Self - made materials (made by the same children) motivate them to learn languages. This is one of the principal characteristics of this book, because the researchers, the creators of the software and children worked together for doing this program.
This software has 2 different components: FABULA MAKER (creation of texts, graphics, etc) and FABULA READER (for reading and interacting with de product of the FABULA maker).
FABULA exists in CD room and it is also on internet.
This text explains different wys for using the context. It is very easy to use it, and there are different modes.
The objective is to lead teachoer to use bilingual multimedia material, and the benefit for the students is that they can develop effectively writing skills, and we also have to consider that electronic resources for learning languages are well approved.
This project has been growing, developing areas like virtual communities, bulletin boards in a website.
