Grammar Sense

The EAP cluster is looking into a new ESOL series. Grammar Sense is a program that specifically targets ESOL students. We used to use Focus on Grammar, but it's very outdated. It's so bad, that recently after starting here, the disks were unusable. An instructor is looking at using the Grammar Sense books with the new Houghton Mifflin series that is currently being piloted. We'll see what we do. I figured the software should be mentioned here, however. It is brand new and not quite finished yet which has made a couple of people a little nervous about purchasing it. The new texts probably won't be in place until fall 2006 anyway, so I think there's plenty of time.
