INTRODUCTION : - "GLOBAL ENGLISH" (GE), has not been designed exclusively as an ESL program. It has been designed first and foremost for native speakers of English, who are committed to: — 1. improve the clarity of their ph... more »onics,
2. enhance the grammar of their spoken English,
3. master the parts of speech, and
4. boost their writing skills.
GE can ideally be used as a self-teaching tool, in a classroom, or by ESL schools as a supplement to their video material and for teaching. GE can also be a useful addition to academic comprehensive grammar collections.
INSTRUCTIONAL APPROACH: GE is different from the classroom traditional teaching methods. To make learning more efficient, we did not include specific theme entries. Nor was GE shot in classroom environment, because that would have undeniably distracted the learners' attention. We've keyed the practical treatment of the subject entries on three governing principles: clearness, liveliness, and appropriateness. These principles help learners and speakers to develop better judgment in language matters related to speaking and writing situations.
All explanations in the program have been keyed to three governing principles: (1) clearness, (2) liveliness, and (3) appropriateness. These principles help speakers and learners of English develop better judgment in language matters related to speaking and writing situations.
