Esl Books For Adults
The following are 2 esl books for adults to use in their practice sessions.
Vancouver Stories:
This simple, 50 -page book can give adult students a real grounding in Vancouver's past. It tells the stories behind four places whose names become known to anybody who spends amount of time in Vancouver: Granville Island, Kitsilano, the Lions Gate Bridge, and Deadman's Island.
Even though it is intended for literacy students, it also can assist adult ESL students feel more in the home in the town, if they have settled there or are simply there to examine.
Most of the stories start in the late nineteenth century, when Granville Street was a loggers' skid road, the width of a wagon. Needless to say, the town has changed considerably in a few ways since that time - in the others, perhaps not so much. Political squabbles, Indigenous land claims, and the homeless have been problems from the comfort of the start.
The novel is composed at an amount appropriate for upper intermediate to advanced level pupils. The written text is broken in to sections with subheadings, which will probably be assigned one at time so students are perhaps not overloaded with facts. It really is illustrated with vintage photographs.
Dangerous English 2000! An Indispensable Guide For Language Students and The others:
Though this book will make you somewhat queasy, if you educate ESL to adults, you want it. (If you educate ESL to teens, you might want it even more - but, since the novel warns, you will perhaps not be able to use it without approval from the school management, and even then you'll have to be careful.)
The reader is told that Elizabeth Claire "composed the first version of Dangerous English! because she was too embarrassed to spell out terms she knew her students wanted and needed". Most ESL teachers have already been there; this publication meets them there.
It begins with a discussion of why taboo words exist and why people use them. It goes on to cover innocently vulgar mispronunciations, gestures, innocently vulgar mispronunciations">gestures, innocently vulgar mispronunciations, ethnic slurs, medical terms, political correctness, and even more. The long section entitled "Dangerous Definitions and Sample Sentences" could be the handiest for quick reference, with dictionary-style entries classifying words as proper, general use, euphemism, kids' words, slang, or vulgar.
Yet, because the appendix points out, "90% of the language presented is, in reality, 'quite clean'". Dangerous English 2000! is perhaps not only an experience in learning dirty words, but an aid to more traditional vocabulary building, too. The amount of the writing is usually upper intermediate to advanced level, but I would perhaps not hesitate to make use of it in lower-level courses. Pupils would not have to see the entire book to understand from it, though needless to say the more of it they could read, the greater.
The book is illustrated with black-and-white drawings, many of them more explicit than we have been used to seeing in educational materials (for example, a man using a urinal, a kid on the toilet, a nude man and woman with areas of the body labeled). Their point is all got by them across effectively. Sometimes, in the end, words do fail you.
