Astcovea Grammar in Context

Synopsis

Support material for various language-learning activities, based on a body of French and German texts, which are presented with audio and graphics. Learners can explore the grammatical structure of a specific text in an open-ended way. A context-sensitive reference system allows reference to conceptual explanations of the grammatical elements. Includes supplementary tutorials that focus on specific aspects of grammatical patterning, practical activities and links to an online dictionary and keyword-in-context concordance. The package includes a mark-up tool which allows new textual material to be incorporated.
