Grammar in Context

Grammar in Context presents the grammar focus of the unit in a natural context. The texts, all of which are recorded, present language in various formats. These include newspaper and magazine excerpts, Web sites, and newsletters, advertisements, brochures, and other formats that students encounter in their day-to-day lives. In addition to presenting grammar in context, this introductory section raises student motivation and provides an opportunity for incidental learning and lively classroom discussions. Topis are varied, ranging from people's names, friendship, and saving money to skydiving, body art, and feng shui. Each text is preceded by a pre-reading activity called Before You Read. Pre-reading questions create interest, elicit students' knowledge about the topic, help point out features of the text, and lead students to make predictions about the reading.

English Dialogue

Dialogue is an important part in learning English language. Whether it is conducted with a native speaker or friends, dialogues will help learners of English improve their proficiency. By regularly practicing samples of conversation that are related to our daily activities, we will be able to communicate with our friends, or colleagues without any difficulties. Englishland has provided a lot of free lessons to learners who want to study English from basic up to intermediate and more advanced levels.

Is English Difficult?

Besides learning grammar and memorizing vocabularies, we need to practice conversing in English. It is ideal to converse with native speakers but if we cannot find native speakers, we can simulate an English conversation environment in our own English club by practicing samples of conversation given in this website or other English learning software and recordings. I believe that if you continue to improve your English, one day you will have more confident in using the language not only at work but also in every aspect of your daily life.

Learning English Through Youtube

Learning English is much easier now than ten years ago. We live in the internet era where information flows freely from all corners of the world. For English learners, learning materials are now available for free and can be downloaded from various online English schools websites and video portals. There are a lot of English learning websites in this cyber world but one that I will recommend is Youtube. This is a video portal where millions of internet users visit every day. It contains videos from information about traveling to learning English. You don't have to pay anything for watching English learning materials which have been uploaded by thousands of English teachers from around the world. What you need is a computer with a web browser that can display the Youtube videos. Some materials can be watched if you are a member of Youtube. Also if you want to upload your own English videos to the internet, you need to sign up to become a member.

Let's Write English

The introduction of grammatical structures as lesson material in Let's Write English is rigidly controlled. The books begin with a review of sentence patterns which students practice by writing them according to formula and then by expanding and combining them in closely controlled, carefully demonstrated ways. In most lessons, sentence practice leads to a suggested paragraph assignment. Carefully spaced throughout the book are Writing Practice lessons which build upon what students have learned in preceding lessons. There are a lot of writing exercises in the book that have been provided by the author to help students compose sentences from the simplest one line sentence to a complete story consisting of several paragraphs. This book is suitable for anybody who wants to study various styles of writing (narration, description, argumentation and exposition) in English language.

Learning English While Traveling

Have you ever thought that you can learn English while traveling? You might say, "Well, people will study English if they want to go abroad especially to English speaking countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States of America." But here I want to say that you can learn English even if you only visit a nearby city. I personally like traveling and I do it every month while guiding foreign tourists who come to visit Manokwari for hiking in the rainforest or snorkeling over the coral reef.

Suppose that you live in Jakarta - the capital city of the Republic of Indonesia, and you want to go to Surabaya - a trading city in East Java Province. You will wonder how you can study English while traveling to that city. This is what you can do. Try to find a travel guide about the city of Surabaya both from a bookstore or a website on the internet. At the moment the travel guide for Surabaya city is available in several languages. It will be good for you if you can get an English version. If you cannot find it at your local bookstores then I will suggest that you log on to the website of Lonely Planet. If you don't know the address of the website, just type Lonely Planet in Google search engine. It will give you the address of the website. When you click the hyperlink of Lonely Planet, you will be presented with a front page that contains travel guides to many parts of the world. You don't have to be confused with them. Just type Surabaya travel guide. The website will give you what you request.
