The clearest picture of
Click Into English can perhaps be given by a TESOL In
Context review: "Clarity Language Consultants have a
growing reputation as providers of quality software and
CD-ROM material for ESL purposes. Now they have gone
into a fruitful partnership with Australia's Adult
Multicultural Education Service to create Click Into
English, an interactive and guided program focused on
the practice of reading, writing, listening and study
skills.
"With themes aimed at
intermediate (City Life), upper intermediate (Family Life) and
advanced level students (Work and Study),the program contains a
wealth of material.
"Central to each unit is a
model text which demonstrates a particular genre or type of
text. These are: • information texts • academic essays • exam
questions • oral interview • report writing • oral presentation
"For each unit a variety of
exercises is available - including listening exercises - and
students can also call up reference information about the
grammar and vocabulary in the text."
In addition to the course
material, Click Into English includes an integrated mechanism
for tracking student activity and progress, which can be
extremely useful in the secondary context where teachers may
wish to monitor more closely how students are improving. On
logging on, each student has their own personalised electronic
notepad, which they can use to make notes or complete free
practice activities. And the program comes with an authoring kit
enabling you to add material specially tailored to your own
students' needs.
