Etnians Our free software for teaching English is now available for schools. We have already announced that it's free for English teachers. Now your school is included. This means that we will gladly give you a site license for as many computers as you have in your lab. It's totally free, no strings attached. This is an audio-visual program using contextualized learning and abundant illustrations. It teaches vocabulary and grammar. This is not intended to replace a teacher. Rather, it's intended to eliminate some of the drudgery of teaching so that you can exercise your talent and creativity. There are three programs: English for Beginners, which teaches English from the zero level, including the ABC to about the 4th grade level. It teaches the 300 most common words in English and fundamental grammar. English for School, which teaches English from about the 5th grade level to the 12th grade, including psychometric preparation. 5000 words of vocabulary and grammar are included. This program was approved by the Ministry in an earlier version. It's pretty much the same as it was when we got approval -- except that we have added visual mnemonics and phonetic transcription. Those are controversial features. If you don't want them, we can give you a "key" that will take them out. English for Business: A high level program for high school students who plan to work in business or administration of some kind. You can download the trial version from our web site at www.english4students.com. Just click on "download". It's a large file, and the download may take 10 minutes, so be patient. The trial version allows you to do a few sample lessons. After download and installation, just e-mail me, and I will send your activation codes at no charge. The activation codes transform the trial version into a full version. That's all there is to it. Then if you would like to have it for your school, let me know the name of the school and how many activation codes you will need. I will send a CD with the program + the required codes. You may have to install it on each computer separately, but that won't take much time. And it's a one-time operation. If you have never used computers for teaching English, you will find that it's a powerful adjunct to your regular routine. You can bring the class into the computer lab, say, once a week. The kids will love it and they will learn a lot. Each pupil advances at his/her own pace. We can give you a tracking program which will allow you to follow the progress of each kid. There are two versions ? one for speakers of Hebrew and one for speakers of Arabic. Both are available for your school free of charge. By the way, this is an open program. If you want to change some lessons, or create new lessons of your own, we will be glad to supply the Authoring Program, that is, the program that builds the lessons. Just e-mail me and I'll send it to you. If you want to e-mail me in Hebrew or Arabic, please use the address info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx If you write in English, you can use this address. You can also call me at 050-6734414.
