Active Reading intelligently integrates reading with other skills. A text on fashion leads on to an activity where learners create their own advertisement for a watch; a unit on recipes takes students online to research recipes from different countries. This means speaking and writing are key ingredients in each unit. And learners can listen to a range of native speakers reading the texts, helping them to identify sense groups and develop their chunking skills. |
Helps learners recognise and pronounce 43 English phonemes; vowels, consonants and diphthongs. The program includes over 1,000 audio clips and 50 videos which provide both comprehensive input for the sounds, and models for learners to copy. The Recorder enables users to record their voice and assess their pronunciation against a native speaker. |
A multimedia ESP course designed to provide a course of interactive materials for staff in the hotel industry who wish to improve and upgrade their specialist English language skills, or for students preparing for hotel employment. |
Help learners develop skills in listening, soft skills, grammar, pronunciation and reading. Each of these skills relates to communication needs in a customer service environment. Learners have the opportunity to practice combining the skills they have learned as they record and play back their own responses to customer queries. Each unit of work is based around an authentic customer service interaction and is focused on a specific skill (such as "Active Listening" or "Giving Clear Explanations"). |
