classic quotations also provides larger cultural contexts to inspire deeper
conversations - or writing assignments. Students should also appreciate the
generous amount of authentic language. I wish I would have had that book in my

university instructors, and private tutors." Eric Busch, August

4. Idiomatic American English: A Step-By-Step
Workbook for Learning Everyday American Expressions by
Barbara K. Gaines, Paperback: 128 pages, Publisher:
Kodansha America
Mastering idioms requires a great deal of listening,
studying, practice, and usage. You cannot ignore this
part of the language: idiomatic expressions and more
formal grammar should be given equal time. The lessons
in this book are designed to teach you the kind of
informal, everyday speech--including many slang words as
well as idioms--that is commonly understood by all
native Americans, no matter what their level of
education. There are various levels of idiomatic
difficulty, and each group of lessons listed in the
Table of Contents begins with the easiest lessons and
ends with the more advanced ones. However, you may use
them in any order you desire; each lesson is
self-contained. Each lesson begins with a dialogue,
since idioms are best learned in meaningful verbal
contexts. A vocabulary section then explains the idioms
in clear, concise definitions. (Where the notation
"neg." appears after an idiom, it means the idiom is
generally used in the negative. For example, have the
heart to (neg.) indicates the phrase is normally used in
a negative statement such as "I didn't have the heart to
tell her." Where alternate words are given in
parentheses, either word may be used interchangeably.
For example, down the drain (tubes) means you may say
"down the drain" or "down the tubes." Two sets of
exercises are included in each lesson. In the first, you
are asked to choose the correct idiom needed to complete
a sentence. In the second, you will substitute an
idiomatic expression for an italicized phrase or
sentence..
5. Practical Faster Reading : An
Intermediate/Advanced Course in Reading and Vocabulary
(Cambridge Classical Studies) by Gerald Mosback,
Vivienne Mosback, Paperback: 132 pages, Publisher:
Cambridge University Press
Practical Faster Reading provides the basis for a
reading improvement course lasting a total of thirty
class hours and has proved popular with students and
teachers in a variety of settings. Thirty passages
covering a wide range of topics of general interest and
accompanying exercises give practice in the reading
skills needed at upper-intermediate and more advanced
levels. Substantial increases in reading speed are
usually attained with improvements in comprehension and
vocabulary. The full answer key for self-checking also
makes this a useful book for the student working alone.
6. The American-British British-American Dictionary
by Jeremy Smith, Paperback: 264 pages, Publisher: CodeSmith
This is a great place to turn when you encounter a
Briticism or Americanism. It illuminates differences in
vocabulary, usage, pronunciation, spelling, and the
history of English, how and why differences arose, and
what those differences are. A set of tables include
national holidays, kings and queens, and money. It is an
easy-to-read, light-hearted, and sometimes irreverent
catalogue of the 1% difference between American and
British English. The tone is deliberately informal,
which allows much of the intrinsic humour to shine
through, but never at the cost of accuracy or detail.
