Description

The researcher developed an instructional program in MacroMedia Flash Professional Version 6 to teach the passive voice to first-secondary pupils. It is organized into sections covering construction, use, agent, present, past and modal verbs in the passive, and problematic issues, each with "Explanation and Examples: presented in an audio-visual manner" plus exercises, drills, and a Test Yourself section. The program provides model answers and "a system for correction" so students receive immediate feedback and scores. Its stated objectives include facilitating understanding, increasing motivation, building self-confidence, and reducing shyness.
