Welcome to the first English as a Second Language (ESL) workbook that accompanies the first novel in the Plain Jane young adult book series: Plain Jane Tagalong and the Magic Diary. This workbook contains many vocabulary words from the novel, broken down by A1, A2, B1, B2, and C1 English proficiency levels so that everyone can use it as a learning tool, no matter which level you are starting at. Some of the vocabulary words can be found in the English dictionary while others relate to various slang words, sayings/expressions, and idioms that were commonly used by native English-speaking teenagers in Canada during the 1980s. In fact, many of these unique phrases are still used today.
This first workbook covers the eight parts of speech in English grammar. Toward the end of this workbook, there are some basic ESL practice classes (including answer keys) that you can use for self-study, to test your English skills.
I look forward to working with you, to ensure you get the most out of each novel, workbook, and online tutoring sessions so you can improve your English skills in all these areas: reading, listening, grammar, writing, speaking, pronunciation, TOEFL/IELTS exam preparation, and job interview preparation.
