About this program (credits and contributors)
Paper OR Paperless EAP1341L
This is a hyperlinked menu. In the table menus (at the top of each
section) you have 2 options. Both options give you access to one document
containing everything under that menu. Options:
- to navigate to the Website
- to open/download the Word document.
1) The Website, obviously, is for use on the computer, and most
of the files
include links to Web activities and further explanations and exercises enrich
the curriculum. The additional Web activities can be assigned to fulfill
the 3 additional hours per week that students need to fulfill for this lab
class.
2) The Word document option will allow faculty and students
(from their HOMES) to download and print each entire lesson in Word. Be aware
that some of these lessons have over 25 pages. If you or your students
want to print the lessons, you should open the Word version as the page breaks
make it easier to read/follow.
Suggestion: Encourage your students NOT to print, but rather to
use the Web version of these lessons, writing their assignments in a Word
document and e-mailing them to you.
Second Navigational Option
Within the content list for each section, you will find two types of
links.
- The first link will always take you to that specific section of the Web
lesson
- The second link, "separate file" opens a small document with
that specific subsection of the lesson. Students can choose this
option to print / type their assignments. (This option will not be
available if a lesson is short.)
Example:
Under Sentences, you have (Pre-test)
(separate File) .
The Pre-test link takes you to the Web page for that lesson and leaves
you at that specific section of the multi-page document. The "Separate
File" option is the small file saved as a Web page that includes ONLY
that sub-section of the lesson.
