Gerry's Vocabulary Teacher

What is it?

All the exercises featured in this website were produced using Gerry's Vocabulary Teacher. The program is a vast collection of sentences in context, which teachers can use to simply and quickly produce gap-fill exercises for reviewing, reinforcing, and testing vocabulary. The program provides a list of keywords, each of which is linked to a number of sentences which illustrate how the word is used. The user can search and edit these sentences, and add more keywords or sentences of their own. And with a couple of mouse-clicks, users can choose a sequence of sentences, and build them into a complete language exercise. This software is both PC and Mac compatible.

This program creates exercises which are suitable for students of English or English as second-language from an intermediate to advanced level. Teachers can use the program to review and reinforce vocabulary, create tests, etc. Students can work on their vocabulary by reviewing words in context, or can create random word gap exercises to test their knowledge of new vocabulary.

The program comes complete with an enormous database of English language usage - more than 50,000 sentences illustrating over 2,500 keywords. It is an excellent resource for teachers and students - teachers can use it to create illustrations and exercises around English words, and students can use it to test and improve their word-power.
