More information

What's included in this English Plus 10-month subscription:

 

NEW! Three eBooks:

A subscription to English Plus provides access to eBooks of our acclaimed grammar titles—English Essentials and English Essentials, Short Version, 2/e—and our newest English text: Clear Thinking and Writing, 2/e (coming June 2019). These eBooks are accessed through our user-friendly Learning Center via a tablet, computer, or smartphone and students can annotate, bookmark, highlight, and mark up eBook pages.

 
English Skills Assessments:

Two tests of students' basic written English language skills are available. Easy to administer and directly aligned with the skills in our English Essentials textbooks, these tests can guide individual and class instruction. Our transparent, teacher-friendly score reports reveal exactly which items challenged students and which ones they've mastered.

 
NEW! Added Practice in Grammar:

English Plus includes four digital exercises and two tests for key skill chapters in the English Essentials textbooks. These digital exclusives serve to deepen and reinforce each skill presented in the text or eBooks. When used together with the book-based items, students will have ample practice with each skill.

 
NEW! Additional Practice in Clear Thinking:

Available May 2019, twenty-five progressive online tests on the basics of clear and logical thinking are included with this subscription to English Plus. These tests—250 point-support items in all—gradually increase in difficulty, enabling students to systematically strengthen their logical thinking skills.

 
NEW! Bonus Readings:

These five reading selections are additional practice items that do not appear in the textbook. They each come with comprehension and discussion questions and writing assignments. Available May 2019.

 

Key Features of the Learning Center and English Plus:

 

Manage_Assignments.png
Class Management

To use English Plus with students, instructors begin by getting an approved instructor account in the Townsend Press online Learning Center. Then, the instructor sets up the class by adding and managing assignments and students.

 
Manage_Assignments.pngAssignment Control

When adding assignments, instructors can choose the assessment, exercise, and/or test that they wish to add to the class. Instructors can manage each assignment by adding an optional post and/or due date, and assessments can be given a time limit, if needed.

*Note: Students must have a paid subscription to access all Plus materials. Assessments are available free of charge.

 
Scores_Report.pngScores Reports 

Reports are useful tools for monitoring student progress and tailoring instruction. The Learning Center offers flexibility with reports—choose to include as much or as little information as needed.  Instructors can choose to include results for each exercise or test (including retake scores), chapter averages and there is an option to view a breakdown of each question and how it was answered by the students. Individual student progress can be monitored by seeing the amount of time spent working and scores specific to that student. Class report results can be exported for use in other programs.
