Synopsis

Teach English by ear, not by book.

This practical approach helps new Americans learn everyday English quickly through speaking and listening, with instruction grounded in natural language learning principles. The book, English for Coming Americans: A Rational System for Teaching English to Foreigners, guides teachers in using oral work first and foremost, building confidence as learners hear and say real-life phrases in meaningful contexts.

In clear, student‑friendly steps, the course focuses on daily use in home, work, and community life. It emphasizes that language comes from listening and speaking, not memorizing rules from a page. With structured lessons, practical drills, and carefully tied grammar practice, the method helps beginners gain a usable vocabulary and practical fluency.
