Grammar, Writing & Listening Mastery for ESL310L

Practice Tools for ESL312, ESL316 and ESL302

For grammar, writing, and listening mastery, you can use the following ONSITE SOFTWARE and ONLINE LINKS listed in the chart below.  You can complete all of the New Dynamic English and the Focus on Grammar exercises in the ESL Lab (GE 209B) and Focus on Grammar in the Writing Center (GE 207) or the Title III Lab (GE 118). The online exercises can be completed anywhere you have access to a computer with an Internet connection.  These links provide listening practice and further grammatical explanations that will reinforce what you learn in Focus on Grammar and New Dynamic English. 

The Focus on Grammar High-Intermediate Course integrates the grammar of each unit within high-interest reading, listening, and writing activities.  Be sure to check out the grammar notes for each unit and the appendices for useful charts and lists for reference and practice. Most importantly, take time to write on at least one of the topics at the end of each FOG unit.

FOG = Focus on Grammar - High Intermediate Level;   NDE = New Dynamic English
