Beschreibung

NEXOS, Fourth Edition, invites you to play an active role in your language and cultural learning experience. Your experience is personalized through a variety of features, starting with a quiz to determine your dominant learning preference, and then with strategies and activities keyed to these preferences throughout the program. The activities support you in learning grammar based on your individual preferences. Tools such as KWL charts -- graphic organizers that allow you to map out what you're learning -- promote your course success by encouraging you to reflect on what you know about a concept or a topic as well as what you need help with or would like to learn more about. In addition, a storyline video is integrated with the program, providing an engaging way to learn grammar and vocabulary.
