Learner English is a practical reference book which compares the relevant features of students' own languages with English, helping teachers to predict and understand the problems their students have. It includes 22 chapters, each of which covers one language background. Chapters are written by specialists with experience in teaching students from the areas concerned. They describe and explain the most important typical pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary and other mistakes of learners who speak Dutch-Flemish, Scandinavian languages (except Finnish), German, French, Italian, Spanish, Catalan, Portuguese, Greek, Russian, Polish, Farsi, Arabic, Turkish, South Asian languages (with a separate chapter on Dravidian languages), West African languages, Swahili, Malay/Indonesian, Japanese, Chinese, Korean and Thai.
Industry Reviews
'Serves its purpose admirably - can hardly be faulted. Learner English is yet another goodie for every well-equipped language school.' TEFL Farm 'This book ought to be read by all teachers of English but especially those who work with multi-lingual classes where it is a constant challenge to discover the fundamental reasons behind students' errors.' British Council Network News
