iGE 1.2.1

The interactive Grammar of English (iGE) serves as a comprehensive introductory course in English grammar that covers a wide range of elements from basic to complex constructions.

iGE stands out as an authoritative guide to the structure of the English Language, tailored specifically for mobile devices to cater to the demands of educators and learners with a fast-paced schedule.

iGE incorporates numerous examples of authentic language sourced from the 1M word ICE-GB Corpus, meticulously compiled and analyzed at UCL, utilized by linguistics researchers worldwide.

The inclusion of both spoken and written English examples underscores the universal application of grammatical concepts across all forms of English usage, breaking away from the traditional notions of 'Good' or 'Correct' English.

Written by a team of linguists at University College London (UCL), a globally renowned institution, iGE is rooted in recent research and industry best practices. The grammatical analysis presented within iGE has been validated across a vast corpus of one million words in spoken and written English.

While covering material equivalent to a first-year undergraduate course in Modern English Grammar, iGE ensures accessibility through clear explanations, vivid notations, and an abundance of illustrative examples.

iGE caters to individuals with an interest in English grammar, including those seeking to enhance their language skills, students at secondary schools studying English, non-native English speakers, English language educators, language enthusiasts, undergraduate students pursuing linguistics or English literature studies, as well as professionals such as journalists and civil servants who value clarity and simplicity in language.

The course encompasses a wide array of grammar topics such as word classes (nouns, determiners, verbs), phrases, clauses, sentences, grammatical functions (Subjects, Objects), along with additional relevant subjects.

Incorporating a vast array of topics found in hefty grammar textbooks at a fraction of the cost, iGE has been designed for mobile devices to facilitate ease of access. The presentation is simplified for readability while leveraging the unique capabilities of devices.

The interactive Grammar of English features a comprehensive grammatical glossary that offers an A-Z index of grammatical terms for convenient reference and understanding.

Cross-referenced extensively with the glossary, terms within the course are highlighted with a dashed green underline. By tapping on these terms, users can access their definitions, related terms, and additional course pages providing more in-depth explanations.

Engage in numerous interactive exercises and quizzes within iGE to gauge your understanding. The exercises draw upon real English examples and offer the option to retry for new challenges. Users can also time themselves or opt for timed challenges for added difficulty.

For a firsthand experience of what iGE offers, users can download the free iGE 'Lite' version available on the App Store.
