This collection of English language software is just like having your own tutor
in a box! All four Learning English workbooks are included, providing instruction
in and practice with the core principals of the English language: grammar, reading,
writing, and listening. Also included is ESL PRO, a pronunciation drill and
practice software program that will enable the student to accomplish successfully
the most difficult aspect of language acquisition - pronunciation. As well,
the 1000 Key English Words and Idioms guide identifies words that are the most
frequently misspelled and provides a forum for practice so students can quickly
develop their vocabulary of English words.
Includes the following titles (click on each CD for more details):
ESL
PRO: Uses a phonetic approach to teaching students how to speak the
English language properly. ESL PRO accelerates learning by teaching the key
sounds that make up the English language. The student is then taught how to
combine these sounds into words and sentences. The software provides the learner
with native-speaker models to listen to and imitate. Students are able to record
their voices and then compare the result with a native speaker's voice. As they
practice each lesson and build on prior lessons, their English speaking skills
will continue to improve. Completing the ESL PRO learning system is a student
workbook that emphasizes key concepts taught in the software. A companion teacher's
manual provides lesson plans and exercises for the classroom environment that
can also be used by parents and tutors to stress key components of language
acquisition. All answers for the student workbook can be found in the teacher's
manual.
