This book asks: 'What is it that a teacher needs to know about English in order to teach it effectively?' It leads teachers to awareness of the language through a wide range of tasks which involve them in analysing English to discover its underlying system. The book consists of 28 units, each containing around ten tasks, plus a diagnostic introductory unit. Units start at phoneme level and progress through words, phrases and sentences on to complete texts. Task-types include recognition, categorisation, matching, explanation, and application tasks. Throughout the book, the language is illustrated wherever possible from authentic sources, so that the teacher can be sure that the English being studied represents current usage. | | Contents note: | Language : Standards and rules; Language : Systems and syllabuses; Forms, functions, notions, texts; An introduction to phonology; The consonants; The vowels; Stress, rhythm and connected speech; Intonation; Word formation; Lexical meaning; Word classes and phrases; The simple sentence; The complex sentence; Negatives and questions; The verb phrase; Time and tense; Progressive aspect; Perfect aspect; Modality; Futurity; Hypothetical meaning and conditionals; The noun phrase; Determiners; Adjectives and adverbs; Prepositions and phrasal verbs; Cohesion; Texts; Conversations; | | Record link: | https://library.seeu.edu.mk/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=14922 |
