This book provides practical ideas to encourage students to look at spoken language in different contexts through the use of transcripts and authentic conversations. It will help them to identify what features of language are used in spoken language and how to sound more natural when they speak themselves.

Of the roughly thirty-thousand words you will speak today, imagine if just a handful of them could save a life...or heal a broken heart...or inspire a vision that would shape the course of history. Today is your opportunity to speak - or write - words of incalculable potential for good. With simple action points and colorful stories, this inspiring book will help you weed out sticks-and-stones negativism and unleash the surpassing, life-giving, destiny-shaping power of positive words.
Is American English in decline? Are regional dialects dying out? Is there a difference between men and women in how they adapt to linguistic variations? These questions, and more, about our language catapulted Robert MacNeil and William Cran - the authors (with Robert McCrum) of the language classic The Story of English - across the country in search of the answers. Do You Speak American? is the tale of their discoveries, which provocatively show how the standard for American English - if a standard exists - is changing quickly and dramatically.
The lessons, titled "Power English Lessons", are designed to help students speak English faster. "Fluency is our number one goal at Effortless English", states A.J. Hoge, Director of the company. The new lessons place high importance on speed. Mr. Hoge states, "Speed is the big difference between written and spoken English. To speak English fluently, students must understand and speak fast". The new lessons, therefore, use special techniques to increase the speed of students' listening comprehension and speech.
