Speak English Like an American (Book & Audio CD set)

Author: Amy Gillett

Publisher: Language Success Press (2007)

Binding: Paperback, 176 pages

This excellent ESL textbook provides engaging model dialogs, explains practical American idioms - with solid definitions and examples, and includes a CD with clear articulation. The dialogs, illustrated with pen and ink cartoons, display a healthy sense of humor. Speak English Like an American is almost ideal for adult education students, international visitors seeking to improve their language skills, and young people considering studying in the United States. This thin classic could be titled "American Idioms Now and Forever", but too few adult education and IEP schools offer idioms classes. The authors, therefore, wisely designed this book for self-study.  However, this book also works for English tutors and classroom instructors. I strongly recommend this outstanding new book for immigrants and international students, ESL teachers and tutors. It's a winner!
