Essential Linguistics, Second Edition: What Teachers Need To Know To Teach ESL, Reading, Spelling, And Grammar

The bestselling first edition of Essential Linguistics presented the basic concepts of linguistics in everyday language, and showed the connections between linguistic theory and classroom practice. David and Yvonne Freeman make the Second Edition even more valuable by: clearly explaining English phonology, morphology, and syntax and the implications for teaching using the International Phonetic Alphabet to prepare students for the Praxis examination including chapters on first and second language acquisition research and theories reviewing ESL teaching methods. With examples, activities, and end-of-chapter applications that link linguistic theory and classroom practice, the Freemans show teachers how to use their new understandings of linguistics to help student learning. Essential Linguistics, Second Edition will be your go-to resource for all things linguistics, now better than ever.

Useful textbook for learning the basics of linguistics (phonology, morphology, semantics, pragmatics) and how to apply this to teaching students (both native speakers and second-language learners) the English language. The second edition is current and updated.

A good book to learn about how language is acquired. It is really heavy in information so it definitely takes a little re-reading and highlighting.

helpful to understand how to break down the English language. Recomended for teachers

Just started taking this class, but already have learned a lot from this book on teaching ELL.

Helpful book when studying ESL and the intricacies of the English language!

At times, cumbersome to read. In other words, not very reader friendly.

An excellent overview with many suggestions for teachers. Loved it.
