EuroTalk Network Editions
Now you can run Vocabulary Builder, Talk Now!, World Talk, and Movie Talk through your school or college CD server or CD tower for simultaneous use of these titles on your network! You'll have access to permanent reports for all the activities done by each student in the class for such things as time and sessions spent on each activity, scores in the quizzes and games. These network discs operate on most networks that are in common use in schools and colleges, such as NT, Novell, and Macintosh networks. Students can select their names from classes, and run the program currently assigned to that class, and students may optionally also be allowed to join classes. Teachers can see at a glance which students are currently logged on and what they are doing, and they can add students to classes, remove them, or move them around. A reports facility allows you to display or print reports for entire classes, or for individual students. Student reports show the number of sessions, the time spent on each activity, and scores in the quizzes and games, and times and scores can also be displayed in chart form. The prices are highly competitive, and the price per unit goes down dramatically as one goes up in the number of users and units. With a configuration of 100 users and 100 units, which goes for $9,995, you pay less than $1 per unit per person!

Speech Works Professional Pronunciation CD-ROM for Windows and Macintosh
Speech Works is key to opening the door to clear, confident pronunciation in English. It maximizes the effectiveness of multimedia by focusing on the key skills necessary to improve clarity and confidence in English: listening and speech repetition. With the help of an on-screen video model, Speech Works quickly and easily teaches you the "standard American" accent. There are 24 scientifically developed interactive lessons, each with 3 easy steps: Listen to the model - just point and click on an individual word or an entire sentence to hear the correct pronunciation. Watch the way the model moves their mouth as they pronounce the word. Repeat - the program will record you saying the same word or sentence. Play back and hear your own pronunciation compared to the model's, and save your recordings so that you can hear the difference over a short time. It's easy to hear your progress! Speech Works comes in two versions: a personal version, and a professional version designed for instructors with diagnostic assessment tools and progress tracking features.
