MaxNet Help

MaxNet is an Internet delivery system for language teaching lessons created by MaxAuthorÔ . Typically, the instructor has provided footnotes, audio, graphics, and exercises (such as multiple choice and fill-in-the-blank) for the lesson. On the left hand side of the lesson page, you can select which ‘view’ of the lesson you would like to examine. Read this if you have trouble viewing non-English text in the lesson.

• For lessons that have video, click on the icon and try to guess as much as possible about the dialogue of the lesson, taking into account all contextual clues such as gestures and facial expressions. Read this if you have trouble playing video from the lessons on your computer.
• For lessons that have audio, click on 'Sentence Audio' and listen to the lesson, matching sounds to linguistic forms. Read this if you have trouble playing audio from the lessons on your computer. Use the MS-Windows "Sound Recorder" accessory to record yourself and compare to the native speaker.
• Then, click on ‘Word Audio’ and listen to each WORD recording, pronouncing them out loud after the native speaker. Here are some tips on how to record yourself NOTE: Check the translation recordings of words and sentences ONLY AFTER trying to grasp the meanings in the native language.
• Study the footnotes (which may be text or pictures) attached to the text.
• Now you are ready for the EXERCISES such as Fill-in-the-blank and Multiple Choice. You may repeat them as many times as needed, until you get all answers correct.
