Language SW Gives Diagnostic Info

  • 03/01/96

Diagnostic Prescriptive Grammar helps to promote mastery of different parts of the English language. The program contains six disks covering Nouns, Adjectives, Pronouns, Verbs, Adverbs, and Prepositions and Conjunctions.

Six diagnostic tests determine the student's understanding of grammar and directs them to an appropriate lesson, focusing on a particular grammar skill. A review section follows each topic, and students advance to higher levels at their own pace.

A teacher's utility feature provides diagnostic information and records progress for an unlimited number of students. The program is appropriate for ESL, middle school, high school, adult education and college developmental studies programs. Merit Audio Visual, New York, NY, (800) 753-6488. WD

    Stop Asking Whether Students Can Use AI

    As generative AI has become embedded in the tools students use to search, write, create, translate, organize, and receive feedback, the boundary between "using AI" and "not using AI" has become increasingly difficult to define. More importantly, treating AI use as a binary choice does little to help students understand the different roles AI can appropriately play in learning.
