The English for Social Interaction series is intended to help learners acquire spoken English skills so that they can engage in fluent communication.
Everyday Idioms presents a series of 30 specially written passages which are based on the kind of realistic conversations which might take place in everyday life. The key expressions are explained, supported by example sentences and, where relevant, Language Help notes.
Exercises with accompanying answers are also included for self-testing.
Written by teachers for teachers, this is a practical introduction to
models and strategies employed in the teaching of English language
learners. Each chapter discusses several models and/or strategies by
focusing on particular methods. It gives the background of the method's
development, discusses practical examples and applications, provides
possible caveats and modifications, and offers a list for further
reading about the method.
The book is written to be of immediate use to
classroom teachers but will also be valuable as a supplementary
textbook. All methods discussed are currently being taught in Norland's
classes and implemented through the student teaching program at Luther
College.
Strategies include: Grammar-based Approaches, The Silent Way,
Experiential Language Learning, Literature-based Approach, Family
Literacy, and many more.

"These grammar packets which I have written for my
English 1 students. These packets can be used successfully with students of
various ages, but I suggest that the packets be used with Grades 6 through
adults.........
It is my hope that these packets will help teach
students correct grammar, punctuation, and capitalization skills which can then
be implemented into their oral and written communication........
It has taken me over twenty-six years to write and
revise these packets, and they have been piloted among my students in many
different school districts......."
