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.
