Power English Eight: Basic Language Skills for Adults

Power English encourages the rapid acquisition of fundamental writing skills. The program is based on sound learning principles and is designed to keep the learners actively engaged throughout. Power English is grounded in the principle of overlearning, which occurs when students continue practicing a skill even after it is learned.

Power English consists of the Locator Test, nine worktexts, and a series review book.

The Locator Test is used to place students in the appropriate text in the program.

Each of the nine worktexts has five chapters that cover a variety of writing skills: usage, sentence structure, mechanics, and composition.

Answers are in a special perforated section at the end of each book. The section can be left in the book or removed.

The series review book, Power English 9, contains eight review tests. They can be administered individually at any time during the use of this program or as a battery at the completion of the program.
