内容説明

This book will be of use to students, or someone whose first language is not English and aims to help them gain a deeper understanding of language, communication and the structure of English. It offers guidance on key issues of the National Curriculum for both teacher and student and contains ideas for development-work for teachers and students, based on the needs of the National Curriculum in English. The text emphasizes the role of standard English, as well as the effectiveness of English at its best in creative literature. It presents an authoritative account of the nature of English today, through its influence, the influences upon it, the subtleties of its vocabulary and the complexities of its grammar and includes exercises for older students.
