No Stinkin' Grammar Ii
The Author's work reflects researching the intricacies of the English language. The section about spelling reinforces the point that learning to spell words is a matter of memorization, given the immense number of exceptions to every rule of spelling. One cannot simply spell a word by using the letters that one hears when saying the word. English is an exceptionally difficult language both to learn and to teach, as clearly pointed out in both No Stinkin' Grammar I and the current volume. I urge English teachers to read these books, not only for further knowledge of the English language, but also to remind themselves that the teaching of English grammar, writing, and spelling is a monumental and essential task. No Stinkin' Grammar II delves deeply into the intricacies of the English language. The Author's insight is presented in an easy-to-read, sometimes humorous approach. He presents information from the viewpoint of a writer who is challenged by the "stinkin' grammar" of the exceptional English language.

Living Words Students Level 3b Extra Materials
LIVING WORDS is a 3 level intensive Bible-based English language course designed to take students from their own starting level to a level where they can understand, think and communicate effectively in English. A further, unique aim of this course is to give educators a body of relevant English language learning material with a solid Christian foundation. Our mission was to produce a full set of English language learning materials for the teacher and student, using Bible characters and their lives to teach everyday vocabulary, as well as that commonly used to convey Christian ideas and spiritual principles in a relaxed and fun way. Our goal is to teach children and young adults not only to speak English, but by using the Bible as a base, bring them into a spiritual relationship and a saving knowledge of Jesus. The course of materials contained here develops the theme of God's character as expressed in his love, grace and infinite goodness, proceeding through Jesus' life, death and resurrection, and culminating in the experience of the Holy Spirit's power - enabling a fully satisfying personal relationship with God in the expectation of Jesus' imminent return. This engaging, in-depth course works particularly well in the communicative classroom actively teaching and learning English as a second language in an English-speaking environment, or as a foreign language course where access to native speakers is limited. In any setting, this curriculum can set the stage for active, engaged classroom learning.
English Without Tears
English Without Tears: Mind Your P's and Q's is a practical textbook that delves into the nitty gritty of the English language spoken in this contemporaneous global village. Jettisoned by its biological mother, the English Language has been adopted, appropriated, nurtured and made to bear the hallmarks of global Englishes. It is still the English language in full communion with its ancestral roots, but it is English that been panel beaten almost out of shape and endowed with the speech mannerisms, elocutionary patterns and phonetic peculiarities of the non-native. The goal of this book has been to shed ample light on some grammatical and lexical incongruities that often disfigure the speech of Anglophones whose mother tongue is not English. We are hopeful that this work would meet the dire needs of students and instructors of the English language all over the world. The substance in this book is easily digestible; our lexical choices are devoid of convolution and our illustrations are down-to-earth. Ultimately, this book is our unapologetic contribution to the ongoing global Englishes revolution.

A Guide for Volunteers Teaching English as a Second Language
Algonquin College and ESL experts, with funding from The Canadian Red Cross, have created a new language-learning delivery model called the Community Language Support Program. The program is a decentralized, place-based approach to language learning where community members teach English in ways that directly support the individual learner. It is done in the places and spaces they choose to live in and according to their schedule and preference for learning. The program is a response to traditional challenges inherent in offering English-as-a-Second-Language training to adult newcomers, especially in rural areas. Roadblocks along their language learning journey include transportation, childcare, hours of service, eligibility requirements, funding requirements such as minimum numbers of regularly attending registrants, and so on. These challenges cannot be alleviated by a centralized or singular nature of service delivery-one place, one way and at one time. Instead, the program effectively and efficiently leaps over these common barriers. No new infrastructure is required and the work is delivered by community allies. These volunteers are supported by a qualified Language Coach who provides access to key supports, resources, suggested tactics and materials to build their capacity to teach. By combining the good nature of volunteer work to the meaningful purpose for adult newcomers to learn English that is supported by a professional creates a holistic and sustainable community-wide program. The newcomers are integrated as defined by themselves. The volunteer is empowered to support both as a humanitarian and as a capable ally. Community relationships enhance connections among the people involved, transforming language learning into a vehicle for integration.

English in China
English-related linguistic creativity and language commodification are a constant topic of interest and analysis for scholars. This volume is intended to initiate a dialogue between these two domains of inquiry that have been abundantly addressed but rarely documented together or in relation to one another.English as used in mainland China is presented as a case study where it remains rather unclear the extent to which the language is actually used in people's lives, outside the domain of education. The volume enriches existing empirical studies by exploring the creative and innovative uses of English in people's lives and its commodification at different language-centred economic spaces within China while also providing an update of our understanding of the sociolinguistic situation of English in China, a country undergoing rapid socio-economic transformation. English in China is the first attempt to discuss the possible relationship, intersection, and tension between two seemingly inseparable research topics. The book is an important resource for students and scholars in the fields of Applied Linguistics, Bilingualism, Sociolinguistics, Translation, and Contemporary Chinese Studies.
