What English Really Is by Ron Little
Your English Will Soar!For years now you’ve been attempting to get a handle on English, but have you succeeded? Chances are, you continue to make the same mistakes again and again, more often than not, unaware that you are making them.Why? Because, in spite of your many years studying English, you invariably speak and write English using your native Chinese grammar patterns. That is to say, you use English words with Chinese grammar!. Result: poor communication and little progress. What English Really Is guides you in overcoming this self-defeating pattern. It pinpoints the areas of English where you repeatedly make the same mistakes, and explains why. It provides you with a different, fresh perspective on learning English, giving you a new map that will put you on the road to mastery. It will open you mind to a new way of thinking; it will open your mind to thinking as English thinks! Throughout the book, “how” is stressed as much as “what.” It’s not enough to know “what” something means; it’s equally important to know “how” to use it correctly.Written in conversational English, this self-study guide—the culmination of Prof. Little’s extensive experience teaching both Chinese undergraduate and graduate students—contains the essential knowledge and understanding that you need in grammar, pronunciation and writing. Upon applying its concepts, tailored specifically to the Chinese student’s particular needs, your English will soar!What English Really Is is also an excellent resource for ESL teachers who work with Chinese students. It provides the teacher with insights into the major challenges that Chinese speakers face in learning English, simultaneously providing the teacher with a “syllabus” of subject areas to integrate and emphasize in their daily classroom lessons.
