iGE Lite vs iPA Phonetics

The interactive Grammar of English (iGE) is a comprehensive introductory course in English grammar which takes you from the most basic elements to the most complex constructions. iGE is a guide to the structure of the English Language that is specifically designed for mobile devices to meet the needs of busy teachers and students. REAL ENGLISH, REAL GRAMMAR iGE uses lots of examples of real language taken from the ICE-GB Corpus, compiled and analysed at UCL and used by linguistics researchers across the world. We use spoken and written English examples to demonstrate that grammar is applicable to all language use, not just so-called 'Good English'. LEARN FROM EXPERTS iGE is written by a team of linguists at University College London (UCL), independently ranked as one of the world's best Universities. The grammar you'll be learning is based on recent research and best practice in the field. The iGE course covers the same ground as a first year undergraduate course in Modern English Grammar. But that does not mean it is difficult to follow! We have written iGE to make grammar accessible, with clear explanations, colourful notation and lots of examples.
