How
do I select the exercises?
|
The
exercises are grouped clearly according to grammar topic — just click on the topic you want to work on and select from
the exercises listed. |
After
your first test, you should start revising the individual
aspects of grammar. Remember: you will find mistakes which
do not belong to your chosen category in some of the exercises.
|
After
your second test, you should attempt the 'text' exercises
to learn to deal with more complex text-based exercises. As
there is no direct correction facility,you will have to fill
in the gaps as instructed and compare your answer to the model
answer in the second textbox. If your answer is very different
from the model answer and you want to discuss your answer,
leave a message on the bulletin board. Your fellow students
or one of your Irish teachers will reply. |
|
How
do I actually do an exercise?
|
|
Select
the topic you want to work on; then select an exercise from
the list. Complete it by typing in the responses in the
gaps (watch your spelling!). When you have finished, click
'check' to check your answers and to get a score. If you
gave an incorrect answer, please try again - you can use
the help or feedback buttons to give you hints.
To move on to another exercise use the forward / back arrows
or the index button. |
|
How
do I enlarge the font / print?
|
Internet
Explorer: click on 'view', choose 'text zoom' Netscape: click on 'view', choose 'increase font size'. You can also go to 'edit', 'preferences','appearance', 'font' to increase the font size. |
|
What
if I get stuck?
|
*
At any time you can click on the Help
button on the left of your screen to get help with how to
do the exercises, to look up the meaning of a grammatical
term or abbreviation in the glossary,
or to check the meaning of a word in a dictionary.
* Depending on the type of exercise, there are help and feedback
functions that you should use if you have difficulties.
* If you have problems with a particular exercise and find
the feedback or help not sufficient, you can place a question
on the Bulletin board. Either a fellow student or a member
of staff will then answer your question. It doesn't matter
whether your question is about how to use the software or
about grammar or anything else you’d like to ask! |
