ENGLISH IN TALK
The new version of the author's book now is in the progress of completion. This 24 units book of conversation handout will make its readers easy to learn conversation, dialog and monolog in English. It starts with the form and expression of greetings until the form of presentation and job interview in English. All phrases and sentences used are based on the native speaker's customs.
Why do the second language learners of English need this book?
Because native speakers acquire this ability as part of growing up, they do not need to make conscious reference to them as adults. Second language learners, however, need guidance about sociolinguistics expressions and rules that may differ from those in their own culture.
This up-coming book is intended for higher-level students of second or foreign language.
