- This program was designed under the premise that a language is learned faster
- if it is approached in short segments. Therefore, there are only 20 items to
- each drill unit. In addition, the first ten items rotate position with the
- last ten items at each access (except for the short stories) to insure a more
- even impact of all the material in each unit. The user has control over
- content and level of difficulty through unit selection. Once a unit has been
- mastered, the student can immediately move on to new material. Each item is
- presented for matching by user input and scoring is automatic. However, input
- for matching is not required. The student can obtain correct translations
- by pressing enter and proceed through the units until ready to match.
- Early input for matching and scoring is encouraged and every correct match is
- rewarded with an encouraging statement of praise. Considering that there are
- more correct matches than those presented a score of 15(+) will be rewarded
- with one of three musical tunes. 100 units have been included as a start and
- as examples. Although the program was first designed as a tool for teachers;
- serious students can use it as a supplement & just as easily create units for
- their particular level and needs. It is recomended that the student run only
- one drill unit at a sitting, run it 3 or 4 times and then take a break.
