<br/><br/>"Next Generation Grammar seamlessly blends course work and online content to optimize instruction and provide a 21st century learning experience that will engage and motivate learners. At its heart, Next Generation Grammar is a comprehensive grammar course that prepares students to communicate accurately in both writing and speaking. The grammar points are presented naturally, through a variety of high-interest reading texts followed by extensive practice and application. Each new grammar point is practiced using all four skills, with extra emphasis on grammar for writing. This task-centered approach allows immediate feedback on learning outcomes so students can track their own progress."
