Preface

In an increasingly international world, being able to communicate in English is nowadays a necessity in social, professional and business life. Competence in English creates an increasing range of business, travel and leisure opportunities, opening doors to international communication.

English Made Easy is a breakthrough in English language learning – imaginatively exploiting how pictures and text can work together to create understanding and help learners learn more productively.

English Made Easy gives learners easy access to the vocabulary, grammar and functions of English as it is actually used in a comprehensive range of social situations. Self-guided students and classroom learners alike will be delighted by the way they are helped to progress easily from one unit to the next, using the combinations of pictures and text to discover for themselves how English works.

The English Made Easy method is based on a thorough understanding of language structure and how language is successfully learned. The authors are experienced English language teachers with strong backgrounds in language analysis and language learning. The English Made Easy team is confident that the books represent a significant development in English language learning.

Using this book

This book is easy to use. You will learn how to speak English by looking at the pictures and words on each page. The pictures explain the words.

The table of contents tells you what you will learn in each of the twenty units. You can use this table to look up any particular points you want to learn or practice.

The twenty units are arranged in groups of five. The first four units present language and give you opportunities to practice as you learn. The first page of each unit has a list of all the words and phrases you will learn in that unit. At the end of each unit there is an interesting story which uses the language you have just learned.

The fifth unit in each group gives you the opportunity to revise the language in the first four units and to use it in different situations. The exercises are easy to understand and there is an answer key at the end of the unit.

At the end of the book there is an index which contains all the words and phrases in the book. It is not a dictionary. It refers you to the unit in which that language first appears so that you can “discover” the meaning of the word by seeing it in context.
