Lado English Series Book 3

Description

This is the third of six volumes in a new type of textbook series lor students of English as a second language. For many years I had hoped to apply to just such a series my teaching experience, my linguistic and psychological training, and my insights into how to make the work of both teacher and student more productive and rewarding. But the demands of a busy life — first developing the English Language Institute at the University of Michigan with Dr. C. C. Fries, and then organizing the School of Languages and Linguistics at Georgetown University — delayed until now the realization of this project. It was while I was in Spain on a Fulbright grant organizing a new program to train teachers of English in that beautiful country that my friend, Julio Andujar of Simon & Schuster, suggested that the time had come to write the LADO ENGLISH SERIES. After much work and many revisions, here is Book 3. It is intentionally designed to be both clear— unlike the complicated texts of my own high school days — and lively. But it is more than that; for it embraces many features that are new and unique, combined with the best of the traditional in a fully-integrated sequence of dialogues, pattern practices, study frames, exercises, dialogue variations, readings, thought pictures, pronunciation practices, and copy sections, devised and arranged to lead the student to a secure mastery of the material together with a firm confidence in his ability to use it. The LADO ENGLISH SERIES has been designed to be simple in makeup and transparent in structure, two qualities which have been implemented in the following ways: 1) Within each Unit, the heading of a section indicates in one word what is to be done with the material: MEMORIZE, SUBSTITUTE, STUDY, PRACTICE, SPEAK, READ, THINK, PRONOUNCE, COPY. It is as simple as that!
