Speak Real English explores new vocabulary, idioms and phrases that are widely used by many native-born Americans. Through a variety of entertaining dialogues, each of the 25 lessons give learners an opportunity to improve their reading, writing, speaking and listening skills. A better understanding of the vocabulary presented in this book should help equip learners to have more native-like conversations with speakers of English.
Pre-Reading
Before reading, learners are encouraged to look at the pictures and think about each of the questions under the pictures on the first two pages of each lesson. This activity should be done as a class in a way that encourages learners to share knowledge and experiences related to each topic.
Reading the Dialogue
It is recommended that teachers lead the initial reading of each lesson so that learners have a chance to hear and imitate the correct intonation and pronunciation of each sentence. Learners should be encouraged to circle unknown vocabulary or phrases. Each dialogue should be read multiple times.
At the end of each dialogue, key vocabulary is glossed in a specially crafted format that encourages complete grammatical explanations of each item.
