Title: English Alive: Grammar, Function, and Setting Author(s): Gail Fingado Pages: 387 Publisher: Heinle & Heinle Publication date: 1991 Language: English Format: PDF ISBN-10: 0838429106 ISBN-13: Description: The new revised edition of English Alive is designed to make this popular
text more user-friendly for both the student and the instructor. It now has a
clearer, easier-to-use format. Although the instructor is still encouraged to
intersperse grammar lessons with lessons from the function and setting
chapters, there are now three separate sections for grammar, function, and
setting chapters. The new layout is more attractive, allowing the student's
eye to travel more easily over the page. Outdated information has been
replaced. In order to provide a better balance with controlled activities such
as fill-ins or dialogs, more discussion questions and open-ended or interactive
activities have been added. To make the text easier for the instructor
to use, comprehension questions now follow every dialog; an audiotape
of the dialogs is now available for purchase, allowing the instructor
to use the dialogs for listening comprehension. Simple definitions for words
in the vocabulary preparation lists preceding readings have been added.
Two new integration chapters have been provided, allowing for better review
of verb forms. To better meet the needs of a curriculum for low intermediate
students, two new grammar chapters have been added: a chapter
on the Present Unreal Conditional and one on the Passive Voice with the
Simple Past and Simple Present.
The authors are confident that instructors who have enjoyed working
with this unique text in the past will find that the revised edition is much
improved. Instructors trying English Alive for the first time will be delighted
to find how easy it is to plan the curriculum around the text.
