Language Links, Beginner Elementary: Grammar and Vocabulary for Self-Study

Overview

Language Links combines grammar, vocabulary and phrases to give the range of language learners need to communicate effectively in English. To talk about clothes, for example, they not only need vocabulary (trousers, skirt), but also grammar ("I'm wearing," "she's wearing") and phrases such as "get dressed." Special links direct learners to related language areas, allowing them to choose their own learning path through the book and progress at their own pace.

About the Author

Author of our excellent Business Tasks series, Adrian Doff, talks about his interesting background teaching during troubled times in the Middle East, and teases us with a riddle about a joke concerning a penguin.Like many people, I started teaching English as a way to live abroad, then I found that both language and learning were endlessly interesting, so I did an MA in Applied Linguistics at Lancaster University in 1971.

This was the beginning of the ‘communicative revolution’ in ELT, so it was a good time to start. After that I taught in Yugoslavia and Lebanon, and also started writing with my co-author Chris Jones together we wrote Meanings into Words (for CUP in 1981), which was our first main coursebook. After that I worked in Egypt, developing training courses for local training centres, which got me involved in teacher training. Since then I’ve mainly worked as a freelance EFL writer, based in the UK and in Germany
