Download or read book The Straight Arrow Approach to American English written by Barton Immings and published by . This book was released on 2019-01-02 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mastering English as spoken in the United States is tough challenge for both native American English speakers and students of American English as a second or tertiary language. Learning to effectively use this complex communication medium isn't a "piece of cake," as that American colloquialism suggests. If the traditional, conventional approaches to learning English as are presented in American public schools and traditional textbooks have missed the mark for you or for the student(s) under your tutelage, perhaps the conversational, hyper-descriptive narratives supported by myriad examples and creative exercises contained in The Straight Arrow Approach to English will hit the bull's eye. The Straight Arrow Approach to English, as the logo infers, the main shaft is direct but the intricacies of the arrowhead are complicated. The authors chose Homonyms as the subject for the first in the series because these words with same spellings but different pronunciations and different meanings, or same pronunications but different spellings and multiple meanings are a primary source of confusion for students.The Straight Arrow Approach to English is designed to promote learning for students in homeschool situations or who are in independent learning situations such as those living in remote locations, shut-ins and those otherwise living under custodial care with limited access to teachers and/or language learning tools.The Straight Arrow Approach to English is complete insofar as it delivers information with only minimal auxiliary support recommended. A dictionary, such as the Webster's New World Dictionary of the American Language College Edition, and a thesaurus, such as Roget's II The New Thesaurus will provide ample additional resources for native American students. A bilingual dictionary such as the Oxford Hachette French Dictionary or the Larousse Unabridged French Dictionary for native French speakers is recommended.Homonyms, the first topic treated in The Straight Arrow Approach to English will be followed by future texts addressing other topics underpinning comprehensive understanding, reading, writing and speaking American English. These discuss: Adjectives, Adverbs, Alliterations, Appositives and Appositive Phrases, Bias, Cliches, Comparatives and Superlatives, Conjuctions, Euphemisms, Interjecions and Exclamations, Irony, Literary Vocabulary, Litotes, Malapropisms, Mood, Nouns with Pronouns and Case, Oxymorons, Sarcasm, Sentence and Paragraph Construction, Synonyms and Verbs. The Straight Arrow Approach to American English - HOMONYMS is the initial text demystifying modern American English for homeschooled native English-speakers and independent students of English as a second or tertiary language. This detailed conversational discussion with myriad examples and practical exercises demystifies one particularly confusing aspect of the language: HOMONYMS including homophones, homographs, auto-antonyms, contranyms and the associated colloquialisms, vernacular, jargon, slang and even onomatopoeia and acronyms.
