| What teachers say about
Planet English |
|
| "The Planet English material has proved to be a hit with both students and staff. Students enjoy practising their listening and speaking skills at their own pace in self-access mode and also using PE under the guidance of a teacher during one of their timetabled lessons, where PE has been integrated into all General English courses. Teachers appreciate the relative simplicity of use and flexibility of the package and that students are able to get the skills practice they need at the appropriate language level." |

| "A Planet English class
is a joy to behold. The students are engrossed.
Heads down, tails up. They're motivated, self-paced
and independent...It's an engaging learning environment
suited to this technologically advanced time." |

|
| "The Planet English CD ROM
has proved extremely popular with my Elementary
and Intermediate students. They appreciated the
wealth of comprehensible video and listening input
they got through using Planet English... No other
commercially available English Language learning
CD ROM material has as much useful, professionally
structured video material, to my knowledge. My students
were impressed with both the learning medium and
the content of Planet English..." |

| "Planet English is vast.
Through video and audio input, it provides a huge
range of practice in context which students could
not get in any other medium today." |

| What students say about
Planet English |
|
| "When I practise conversations
with other students in class, I am too embarrassed
to ask them to repeat a sentence that I don't understand.
However with Planet English I can listen to the
same sentence as often as I like. At first I make
a lot of mistakes, but after a few practices I get
everything right. After class I use Planet English
to review correct sentences and pronunciation. Planet
English has useful conversation that I can apply
to situations at school and with my homestay family." |
