The English Tutor
English grammar is a fearful subject to most students, young or old, who need to review the fundamentals of English; and it's a subject often not in the least bit interesting to them. So...what better way to allay their apprehension and engage their attention than to tell stories that involve the study of grammar. Each tape contains a story that was written expressly for the particular lessons to be learned and uses talented actors to portray the various characters in the story. In addition, the lessons are reviewed through written, on-screen summaries. Accompanying each volume in the series is a study guide.
 "Sentences — Simple And Compound" |
"Sentences — Simple and Compound"The review of basic English grammar that began with "The Parts of Speech" continues in Volume 2 with another story, now focusing on the elements of simple and compound sentences. |
StorylineIn this 75 minute videotape, Sara, a teenage girl eager to win a college scholarship from the local grammar club, must have her knowledge of English tested. Her tutor, Pat, accompanies her to the examination, being held at the home of a club member, Mr. Coolidge. Mr. Coolidge, whose vocation is collecting and restoring vintage clothing, is working with his young apprentice, Jarrod. During the questioning we learn about Sara and those present on this important day in her life. Eventually, too, we learn the outcome of the examination. In easy to follow segments, this absorbing learning tool guides the viewer through a basic course that explains and illustrates simple and compound sentences. In addition to sentence structure, various aspects of basic grammar are discussed, including subjects, verbs and predicates, direct and indirect objects, predicate nouns and pronouns, and verbals. The lessons are conveyed with both story and written on-screen summaries. Included with the tape is a 27 page study guide. | |
