Reading for Real
The study of English as a second language is never easy. Learning English well enough to apply it in real life situations often requires years of hard work.
Reading for Real eases the hardship, not by making it simple, but by making it interesting. Articles in this book are chosen for the readers─they engage students’ attention naturally, encourage group discussion, and stimulate comprehensive analysis.
Reading for Real teaches English as a second language. It provides the transition for ESL students to move beyond “small talk.” This new approach may take some getting-used-to initially, but students will find themselves greatly rewarded for their work, and come home with a new perspective about how much they can do with English in real life.
Foreword
Reading for Real is a reading series prepared for：
ESL students─who have acquired basic grammar and vocabulary in secondary schools and are in the transition from ESL methodology to real life applications
English native students─to strengthen reading and writing skills by raising awareness of the subtleties of the English language.
