The ESL Advanced Skills Pack consists of a group of Merit Software programs bundled together, selected to target reading, vocabulary, grammar, and listening and speaking skills. The complete series contains a wide variety of teaching activities that have been proven effective in increasing students? English language proficiency. Content is relevant to real-life situations, with topics on civics, government, health, transportation, American culture, history, and technology. The software is self-paced and self-correcting, and students advance as they demonstrate readiness. Scores are tracked in a record management system that allows teachers to view and print detailed reports. The questions, answers and explanations for most of the programs can be spoken aloud by using the Merit Text Talker.
