English Discoveries has a few options that do not exist in English Plus: it has lessons,
teacher’s
utilities (where you can define lessons), entry and exit tests, and a grammar book.
The new version, which needs 4 giga free on the server, is a multi-user version and it works
only with the CDs of English Discoveries. This version has a setup CD, from which you can
install all CD’s (12) of English Discoveries to the server. In addition, it installs the Teacher’s
Management System to the server. The Teacher’s Management System enables the teacher
to define classes, students, get reports (for a specific student or for a specific class), and
define lessons. In this version, there is no need in CD drives at each station and no need to
keep the CD’s. All work is done on the LAN from the server.
The multi-user version can also be used by installing the single CD’s of the product (total of
12) in the CD drive of each workstation. Only the Teacher’s Management System and some
general files are installed on the server. In this case you need only 150 mega free on the
server
Key Pedagogical Principles:
* Integrated Modalities of Language Learning
* An eclectic educational approach including specific practice of different skills along with use of authentic language.
* Division of the course into stand-alone modules with each module covering specific grammar subjects, language skills and approximately 300 new vocabulary items
* Based on accepted curricula (Council of Europe, Berlitz Schools) with the ********ation of the topics and vocabulary used in each module.
* Maximum re-entry and reuse of vocabulary and structures throughout the course.
* Multiple options of covering the material in order to account for individual differences and styles in educational goals including: directive learning (through set lessons), selective learning (through choice of different language skills) and exploratory non-directive learning (through use of English in a game situation).
* Use of adaptive evaluation where all language, vocabulary and reading exercises automatically adapt themselves to student performance insuring that students are practicing at their own level.
* Availability of tools which take advantage of the capabilities of the computer (i.e. word processor, multi-lingual lexicon, con********************-sensitive help, grammar book).
