SuperMemo Fast Track to CAE

Number of CD-ROMs: 1

A course preparing for the CAE examination with the SuperMemo UX application.

Fast Track to CAE is a brand new application preparing for the CAE examination in advanced-level English. The course consists of two major parts. The first part is a collection of over 1,000 exercises and tests that develop the five language skills assessed in the exam:

• Reading,

• Writing,

• English in Use,

• Listening,

• Speaking.
  

The other part, which is an examination part, enables you to assess your knowledge at any time to see how well you are prepared to take the exam. It gives you an opportunity to check yourself in four full-format exam simulations. The simulations include typical CAE exam questions to be answered within a time limit. The material is based on a series of publications by Pearson Education Limited.

The course is one of the first published with the new version of the SuperMemo application, named SuperMemo UX. For pronunciation practice, a new pronunciation trainer application has been added.

• a smartly designed, intuitive and easy-to-use interface

• new types of exercises prepared especially for language courses

• management of material (including or excluding information from repetitions)

• a transparent presentation of the study plan and progress

• management of multiple users (a single installation makes the
  application available for many users without the need to copy the
  courses)

• automatic on-line upgrade of both the application and course material.

  
  

Pronunciation trainer - You Can Say It!

This application allows you to improve your pronunciation studying on your own. You record yourself after you hear the native speaker’s
recording. Your recording is then analysed by the application in terms of stress, intonation, rhythm and other important articulatory
parameters. Apart from the automatic assessment, information about the correctness of the recording is also provided by amplitude graphs and
spectrograms.
