The Mayflower College Online
Aviation English programme also includes:
An excellent
Text to Speech
component – you simply
highlight any written passage of text and the "speaking pilot" speaks it
back to you. It's great!
The
Workbook: here
activities and exercises are organized in levels and units from
Elementary to Advanced. There are more than 1000 (!!!) exercises.
The
Grammar Book:
the grammar book is an extensive collection of grammar references which
are linked to practice exercises that are designed to help improve
your understanding of English grammar.
Dictionary:
Each word you look up in the online
dictionary will be recorded in your own personal dictionary. You will then
be able to make vocabulary revision exercises automatically. You have
access to a general dictionary and an aviation dictionary.
Tracking:
Learners (and managers) are able to see the results of each exercise as
well as the time spent online.
