Miss Pronunciation - by Jessie Huang, Ricky Yang, Mi-Ying Li, Yen-Ping Chen and Rex Chen
|
Miss Pronunciation is a fun house mirror for words. In this book you can actually see how mispronounced words twist the original meaning and make fun of themselves, as Miss Pronunciation makes a thick book 'sick', shrinks a law school into a 'low school', and spins a tiger's fangs into 'fans'.
Reading level: Grade 1
Readers will be tickled by the funny twists and award-winning illustrations, while English teachers may find fresh ideas for teaching pronunciation.

Ready To Go! - by Stephanie Morris/Thomas Y. H . Chen
|
Ready to Go is a course book in English as an International Language (EIL). Packed with authentic examples of workplace English, Ready to Go introduces students to a variety of workplace situations and the language used in these situations, helping students develop the tools they need to communicate successfully.
Ready to Go Book includes:
- A 150-300 words main reading text in each unit
- A variety of listening and reading samples based on authentic materials and typical of the most common workplace situations. The samples are organized systematically across 12 units to form a knowledge framework that supports student learning.
- Vocabulary building through Word Roots and Collocations
- Business Writing sections with examples of resume, cover letter, memo, email, and business letters that will remain a useful reference for students even after graduation
- Grammar Review to reinforce students' understanding of basic grammar rules, a skill that will help them communicate effectively in the workplace
- MP3 and online resources
What really makes these books different is that they put content before language. They are based on the idea that learners who are familiar with the objects, roles, and procedures of a domain can learn the language related to this domain much more easily. This knowledge framework approach allows learners to organize both content knowledge and language knowledge as they learn. When students enter the workplace, they will be familiar both with the situations they encounter and with the language that is used in these situations. Enjoy using Ready to Go Book 1 and 2!
