The book has been enriched with current topics and examples designed to help you increase your fluency on your journey to mastering English as it’s spoken by native speakers.

We’ve included the most commonly confused words (including sound-alikes) to help you avoid the top mistakes English learners make. We show you how word families—groups of words formed from the same base or root word—will help you grow your vocabulary and understand what words mean even before you look them up in a dictionary.

Many English words are borrowed from other world languages. This book will show you how to have fun with useful “loanwords” while you improve your vocabulary.

We've added a new chapter on “Technology in Our Life Today.” Here you will find clear definitions of frequently used computer and technology terms to help you communicate effectively in today’s digital world.

Whether you’re in school, managing a household, or looking for a job to advance your career, this book will help you take command of English and express yourself with precision. Be sure to look for the companion volume, ESL Writing: Intermediate and Advanced, also by Mary Ellen Muñoz Page.
