Virtual/Network Training Systems

[Item Image] The ELLIS Suite
The ELLIS Suite - A total 1200 hours English Multimedia course which works on Network or
Stand alone multimedia computers.

An interactive multimedia environment for teaching English as a second or foreign language that
changed the way the world learns English.

What is the best way to teach English to non-native speakers? Use every research-validated
means possible: reading, writing, listening, speaking, vocabulary, grammar, culture, practice,
testing and review.
Present these instructional techniques through multiple media. Instead of making learners passive
listeners and viewers, involve them actively in the learning process. Let learners record their own
speech and compare their pronunciation to that of native speakers. Create situations that learners
can participate in, and make the systems cost-effective, flexible, and easy to learn and use.

Since its 1992 release, ELLIS has established itself as the most exceptional English training
software in the world.

ELLIS provides a virtual language experience for ESL/EFL/bilingual learners at all levels. The
ELLIS curriculum combines graphics, full-motion video, digitized sound and voice recording,
animation, and text in a comprehensive and user-friendly environment.

What’s more, ELLIS adapts these multimedia capabilities to a wide range of advanced language
instruction methodologies. Context-sensitive translation, grammar and vocabulary, auditory and
visual pronunciation tools, voice recording and comparison, mastery tests and skills tracking are
all included.
