This CD-ROM series is designed primarily for the adult (16+) non-specialist language learner by the TELL Consortium, University of Hull. The materials may be used independently or integrated into existing course materials. Each CD-ROM contains 20 or more dialogues, divided between situation-specific modules. Each dialogue has contextualised help and support and provides practice in the language used in basic situations such as booking a hotel room, asking the way or ordering a meal.
An attractive feature of this series is the role-play exercise for each dialogue, in which the learner can take either partner's role, record his/her own voice, listen to the playback of the whole dialogue with the recordings slotted into the correct places - and even save the best version of the recorded dialogue onto disk and hand it to the teacher for assessment.
Each dialogue script can be displayed in its entirety on screen as clickable text: e.g. by clicking on a chunk of text the learner can listen to any part of the dialogue, and by clicking on selected words and phrase the learner can call up grammar notes and/or exercises. A translation of the dialogue can be switched on or off by clicking on a button immediately above the text.
A comprehensive handbook is included with the CD-ROM. Also included is a more advanced module, which is a situation-based activity including speaking and comprehension practice with revision and testing exercises. Graham Davies, a partner in Camsoft, helped develop the German language version of Encounters. Available in French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish (Castilian). Please specify language when ordering.
