5.0 out of 5 stars excellent for CELTA or other EFL courses, 27 Jul 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Learner English: A Teacher's Guide to Interference and Other Problems (2nd Edition) (Cambridge Handbooks for Language Teachers) (Paperback)
If you are on a CELTA course or similar EFL course, then this is a very useful book. It runs through the various interference problems you might encounter when teaching students of various L1 backgrounds. It methodically runs through the various english vowel and consonant pronunciation issues each learner might have, and extends its analysis into all areas of grammar, stress, intonation, vocabulary and culture. Even if you're not on a course and you have a multi-L1 class, then this acts as a reference guide for helping you to profile students and understand their potential learning difficulties with
English.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent guide to language issues for students learning ESL, 3 Jun 2002
This review is from: Learner English: A Teacher's Guide to Interference and Other Problems (2nd Edition) (Cambridge Handbooks for Language Teachers) (Paperback)
The book is split into various native language sections. Within each of these there is an analysis of that language form and how it differs from English. Various difficulties peculiar to each language are then given in reference to learning English. An invaluable guide especially when teaching students where the teacher has no knowledge of their mother tongue.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Reading for ESOL Teachers, 19 April 2009
By M. Baker (Midlands, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Learner English: A Teacher's Guide to Interference and Other Problems (2nd Edition) (Cambridge Handbooks for Language Teachers) (Paperback)
I originally borrowed this book for a library to assist me with an essay for my ESOL course. Its contents are a revelation - hence the purchase. Now qualified, I need this book to hand all the time. If you are thinking of teaching English as a foreign language, then you will need this book.
It works its way through most language types and identifies the potential stumbling blocks that each mother tongue will have as the speaker learns English. It looks in detail at the differences in language construction between the students mother tongue and English. When you realise that some languages do not have the same pronunciation sounds as English or a language does not have pronouns or articles, it all becomes clear as to why the same mistakes litter the new students work.
Learner English is set out in way that makes a revision of those issues prior to taking a class easy and it also is a handy reference for identifying individual issues. Each issue is clearly set out in an unambiguous form.
I thoroughly recommend this text.
