Grammar and Style Overview Online
The Grammar and Style Overview has been designed for English Language Learners. For
1st Generation ELLs, there are vocabulary exercises, and pronunciation activities, as
well as grammar explanations and exercises. For Gen 1.5 ELLs, the grammar explanations
and exercises reflect the most common mistakes that occur in their writing. Gen 1.5
ELLs can watch style videos and complete the style activities. The style section
focuses on the differences between the everyday language that most of us use normally
and the academic language required for success in college. For 2nd Generation ELLs, the style and vocabulary sections are highly recommended. These
students benefit from learning the how to move beyond everyday language to more precise
language. Grammar is not usually a problem which allows for more emphasis on academic
vocabulary development.

International Student Corner
Come check out the International Student Corner in the ACE Tutoring Center, LC-406B. We have created a dedicated space for English Language Learner (ELL's). When Ells enter the space, they are greeted by a table of small artifacts from all over the world. They have a work spcate that includes a computer. While seated at the computer, they have access to grammar explanations and worksheets they can use as learning aids. There are also printouts on they table of the various ELL services that MCC offers. Please visit ACE!
