Product Description:
These all-new Sterling Edition programs encourage users to explore and interact
with vocabulary items in natural settings. You select which scenes will be
used and how many items in each scene will be trained.
How the programs
work…
The programs begin by offering instruction
on each object in a scene (“This
is a horse. Find the horse”). Then the student is asked to identify
the nouns or verbs without instruction (“Show me… ‘The
girl is singing.’”). Once a student can identify each vocabulary
item in a scene without instruction, the program automatically moves
to the next scene.
These programs offer two types of reinforcement for correct answers: either the noun/verb animates or amusing characters perform a short skit using enriched language.
Automatic record-keeping
Exploring Nouns and Exploring Verbs feature extensive
data collection for documenting student performance. Built-in reports allow
you to easily track your students’ learning activities over time and
ensure accountability.
Optimized Intervention
This activity tracks student responses and
automatically guides the user through the curriculum. The program moves
among three training levels, each with a different amount of instructional
support.
Exploration
This open-ended activity lets students
select an item on the screen, hear the word, and optionally, see the
associated text and animation.
Identification
Students are asked to identify nouns or verbs from selected scenes.
You can choose any one of the three training levels.
Mixed Explore/Identify
With
this option, the program alternates between the Exploration and Identification
activities.
Testing
This activity can be used to document pre- or post-training
performance.
