What's New - 2006 ESL Advanced Skills Pack

The 2006 ESL Advanced Skills Pack is a new release from Merit Software. This select group of programs targets reading, vocabulary, grammar and writing competencies crucial to English language proficiency.

A voice component highlights words as it reads them, allowing students to practice listening and enunciation skills.

Report from TESOL Conference

Merit Software was pleased to meet with hundreds of educators at the TESOL Conference in Tampa, FL last month. We found that ESOL teachers were very interested in how Merit's voice component works as a teaching tool combined with our reading and vocabulary software.

Students may use the voice component to listen to software reading passages, questions, answers, and explanations. ESOL teachers also liked the quality of the North American voices and choice of reading speeds.
