Academic look at English
Learning English Book II is the second in a series of graded English
Language Teaching core textbooks, taking into account recent advances in
the field of ELT and based on long practical experience as well.
 It
caters specifically to the needs of Sri Lankans and is ideal for those
preparing for examinations. The second book is meant for older children
and adults at intermediate level.
The authors, two university teachers with proven ability and rich
experience, have pondered the book long and carefully and have always
borne in mind both the teacher and student in preparing the lessons.
They have adopted an integrated approach and the basic skills of
Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening are taught, and are to be
acquired, simultaneously. They care for both accuracy and fluency in the
use of language.
The book will be a pleasure to use and learn from. The authors have
deployed a whole range of teaching strategies from reading passages to
pair and group work, to poems and songs, crossword puzzles and
illustrations.
The grammar builds on and extends the usages taught in Book I.
