MindTap is an outcome-driven application that propels students from memorization to mastery. It’s the only platform that gives you complete ownership of your course. With it, you can challenge every student, build their confidence and empower them to be unstoppable.
Research-based, communicative, input-to-output approach: Encore is informed by current research in instructed second language acquisition. Using an input-to-output approach, students are first given the chance to work with listening and reading so that they have the opportunity to connect new vocabulary and grammar to meaning before being asked to speak or write. The activities progress from focused to more open-ended and task-based. Moreover, since Encore is paired with an engaging movie, students will have an abundance of exposure to comprehensible input and the chance to engage in meaningful and purposeful interaction about characters and plot.
Online review of first-year grammar: To better prepare for the grammar lessons in Encore, students have the opportunity to review key first-year grammar points.
Customizable Content: Only MindTap gives you complete control over your course. You have the flexibility to reorder textbook chapters, add your own notes and embed a variety of content including OER. Personalize course content to your students’ needs. They can even read your notes, add their own and highlight key text to aid their progress.
A DEDICATED TEAM, WHENEVER YOU NEED THEM. MindTap isn’t just a tool; it’s backed by a personalized team eager to support you. Get help setting up your course and tailoring it to your specific objectives. You’ll be ready to make an impact from day one.
