About this title

Synopsis

The author has been teaching “English as a foreign language” to students of many nationalities for a number of years, and she has developed a unique from the very first lesson, the student will find that he is “fluent”—that is, within a very limited field, which grows wider with every lesson, he understands and speaks complete and related sentences, not fragments. The lessons are designed primarily to give the student and understanding of English sentence structure and to develop his skill in putting words and ideas together in an intelligible pattern—in other words, to make it possible for him to communicate ideas. The exercises afford copious practice drill. The problem of pronunciation is handled by providing an end vocabulary with the symbols of the International Phonetic Alphabet. An appendix gives the complete conjugation of the verbs “be” and “work,” and the principal parts of irregular verbs. Another appendix presents sample tests similar to those used in college entrance examinations. The book offers a practical course for the foreign student. Contents
