[Corpora-List] New Grammar App Now Available: the interactive Grammar of English (iGE)

[Bas Aarts]

Apologies for cross-posting

The Survey of English Usage at UCL is very pleased to announce the publication of a new App for Apple hand-held devices such as the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.

The interactive Grammar of English (iGE) is a complete course in English grammar written for first year undergraduates, students at high schools and teachers of the English language. For more information see: www.ucl.ac.uk/english-usage/apps/ige

The App is partly based on the popular Internet Grammar of         English (still available at www.ucl.ac.uk/internet-grammar), but thoroughly updated, revised and expanded. 

The App contains exercises which make use of hundreds of natural language examples taken from our ICE-GB corpus. Students can time themselves, or even, for additional 'jeopardy', complete exercises against the clock. Feedback is given on the students’ answers. The App has been optimised for hand-held devices, with slick animations and optional sound effects. 

Anyone who has an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch can get the free 'Lite' version from the Apple App Store or iTunes by clicking on the following link: 
http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/ige-lite-interactive-grammar/id457553150?mt=8&uo=4 

The complete version of iGE is available here: http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/ige-interactive-grammar-english/id457550661?mt=8&uo=4

We believe that this App is an excellent and fun way for students and the wider public to acquire a thorough knowledge of English grammar.
 
We are particularly keen to know what colleagues think of the App. You can let us know by giving us a rating and/or review on the App Store. Alternatively, if you have any comments or suggestions do email us directly.

We'd be grateful if you would consider recommending the App to your students.

Many thanks in advance.
