What does the English classroom teacher, tutor or guide need more than a readable and reliable source of English language instruction which:
- explains the English language in a clear and simple fashion?
- offers easy-to-understand examples?
- answers the same questions about English as were asked 100 years ago?
- repeats definitions and explanations at the time you need them?
- uses excerpts from English literature to explain English grammar?
- uses excerpts from English history to help teach the English language?
- allows the student of English to see the same patterns that they have been
shown in other
languages they’ve studied? - describes the origin of familiar sayings and expressions?
- provides two indexes: one at the start of the lessons on English grammar and one after them?
- provides constant cross-referencing of difficult terms so that you’ll
know and remember the terms
when you see them again? - includes meaningful exercises, each of them indexed to the English language lesson from which they originate?
