In addition to enhancing language skills,
ELLIS helps ESL learners adapt to and
understand the culture, helping them deal
with the common day-to-day challenges of
being in a new country. Each lesson contains
textual and visual examples that provide
insights into their new cultural
environment. Choose from American,
Canadian, or other cultural content.
ELLIS programs are exceptionally easy to
use. Getting help has never been easier. The
context-sensitive Help in Intro lets you click
on any button to hear a description of what
that button does. With Native Language
Help, you can even choose the language in
which Help is narrated. Plus, the on-line
tutorial guides you through each screen and
explains how to navigate through the program.
In short, ELLIS speaks your language.
With more than 400 hours of instruction,
ELLIS Intro is the foundation for any interactive
ESL/EFL/Bilingual classroom. In fact, Intro
was one of four Top Winners to be awarded
the prestigious Software Award of Excellence
by Technology & Learning Magazine.
User Perspective
“ELLIS is an outstanding
program that we are using to
enhance our ESL/Bilingual
program. Through the use of
technology, the ELLIS
applications provide the ‘extra’
instructors we needed. Our students
will now have the
additional, individualized drill
and practice activities that are
impossible to provide in the
regular classroom structure.”
Dr. Sharon Bender, Principal
Carl Schurz High School
Slow down! Watch individual lines of
the video at native speed or choose
to hear a more carefully enunciated
recording of each line.
This beats pencil and paper. Learn
textual, auditory, and visual
definitions of words and phrases.
