Accuracy in Speaking
Advanced Spoken Grammar and Usage for Japanese Students
of English
Accuracy in Speaking was developed for use with students
of English who are truly at an advanced level. It was developed
for Japanese students and deals with some of the particular problems
that Japanese students of English face (the book may be used selectively
with students of other L1s).
Accuracy in Speaking teaches spoken grammar and
usage. Almost all grammar books teach written grammar but spoken grammar
is different in many ways. In Accuracy in Speaking students
study the way native speakers of English really speak. Recordings
of native speakers speaking on various subjects form the core of each lesson.
About half the speakers are Canadian and the others from the US,
Scotland, England, Australia, and New Zealand. To ensure high quality
the original recordings and masters were made using digital recording
equipment.
Accuracy in Speaking leads the students to notice the
difference between the grammar of the native speakers and their own grammar.
It provides them with opportunities to practice the grammar and
usage presented and to receive feedback from the teacher. In addition
to classroom activities, the book provides extensive homework
assignments most of which have sample answers and can be completed
independently.
Accuracy in Speaking requires a teacher who can combine
native
speaker intuition with conscious knowledge of grammar. In this
way, the teacher can help the students by providing guidelines that
they can follow. Sample answers are provided to help the teacher
start this process.
