Hi! And welcome to this tutorial for FLAX & Language Exercise Creation --
Punctuation and Capitalization.
Punctuation and capitalization exercises help students learn the rules of
punctuation and capitalization.
Punctuation marks are symbols that indicate the structure and organization
of written language,
as well as intonation and pauses when reading aloud.
Capitalization helps readers find information more quickly.
What does a punctuation and capitalization exercise look like?
We can get access to it through FLAX, a self-access language learning system.
