IAE-10 Supersite Instructor’s Annotated Edition • Interactive Grammar Tutorials Research shows that a little humor is engaging, stimulates the brain, and helps with memory retention. Interactive grammar tutorials feature the Professor, an amusing character who grabs your attention with his humorous gags and lighthearted approach to grammar. The tutorials entertain and inform by pairing grammar rules with fun explanations and examples. The Professor always uses the new grammar in a humorous way at the end of each tutorial. There are five learning scenarios: the classroom, the library, the theater, the café, and the Professor’s living room. These settings offer opportunities for humor and for cultural references. The Professor explains the grammar in an informal, conversational way. The Narrator pronounces words in charts and reads example sentences. Animation features such as color and pulsing emphasize the grammar being taught. The examples often appear with pictures that illustrate their meaning. Longer tutorials with more complex explanations have one or two Quick Checks, which are pauses in the instruction to give you a chance to react to what has just been presented. It’s a way to make sure you understand one concept before tackling the next one. Each tutorial ends with a Versuchen Sie es! activity that can be submitted for a grade.
