Colloquial English A Complete English Language Course. Although this book is a member of the Colloquial series, and
conforms broadly with the format and approach of other titles in
the series, Colloquial English necessarily departs in some respects
from its fellows.
For a start, it is written in the target language, and an assumption
of prior knowledge of the language must therefore be made.
Nonetheless, I have tried to keep explanations simple and succinct,
allowing the context of the dialogues and exercises to show the user
how the language works.
Presentation of vocabulary is another problematic issue in a book
aimed at users from diverse linguistic backgrounds. There can be
no two-way glossary at the back of Colloquial English, and instead
I must depend on the student’s having access to a good learner’s
dictionary of English – fortunately there are a number of comprehensive
and reliable works readily available on the TEFL market,
and at a reasonable price.
Colloquial English A Complete English Language Course. I have made sparing use of the IPA phonetic alphabet (and in a broad rather than narrow transcription) where I have thought the disparity between the spelling of common words and their pronunciation warranted it; and I have listed the IPA symbols and combinations of symbols at the front of the book for reference. Naturally the accompanying CDs/tapes will also be of benefit in this regard, and I strongly recommend their use in conjunction with the course. This book does not shy away from grammar, and a glance at the index will show how central a component of the course it is. In explaining the grammar in the body of the book, while aiming to keep technical language to a minimum, I have not held back from using grammatical terminology where I think this helps make the system and mechanisms of the language clearer for the learner.
