What
is courseware?
Courseware
is educational content or lessons combined with interactive multimedia.
This means that the student can learn in a structured way by listening,
watching and interacting with the course. Our courseware provides many
games where students can practice what they’ve learned. At the end of
each course there is an exam so that they can measure how much they’ve
learned.

Tell
me more about your courseware
Our language
courseware is based on numerous animated conversations and games that
make education enjoyable. Students learn new vocabulary and grammar by
listening to native English speakers in natural conversation. This learning
is complemented by games and assessments that make effective learning
fun.
Module by
module new topics and grammatical concepts are introduced and existing
knowledge is built upon. We offer courses from Primary 6 to Junior 1,
Junior 2, Senior 1 and 2.

What is a podcast?
Firstly a
podcast does not require an iPod. All you need is a P.C internet connection
and a soundcard. A podcast is an audio file (in our case a lesson or conversation)
that can be downloaded and used over and over. Students can copy these
files to certain devices such an MP3 player for example an ipod or some
mobile phones and listen over and over. Students can listen to course
summaries before going into an examination.

What’s
this I hear about IPTV?
IPTV is simply
T.V over the internet. Student can look at a class on their computer in
the same ways as they would on a T.V. A business man can come home from
work and watch a business class that covers the vocabulary and language
they need to use at business meetings.

Is
this website only for school students?
Not at all!
Of course we have great advice, lessons and tools for students but we
haven’t forgotten the teachers. We give advice to teachers. From great
exercises to warm up the class and keep students interested to interesting
ways to layout the classroom to improve language learning and most importantly
getting students to speak the language.
