Recenzii

"This book offers teacher educators and future English language teachers a welcome and overdue guide for unraveling persistent challenges faced by students in their effort to master the English spelling system. Brown helpfully demystifies common spelling difficulties, offers concise insights, and supplies readers with accessible and practical classroom solutions."
— John S. Hedgcock, Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey, USA
"This is an impressive survey of English spelling. It constitutes a valuable resource for teachers of English, whether as a first language or as a foreign, second, or additional language. It’s fun to read, too."
—John Wells, University College London, UK
"All ESL/ELT teachers are faced with student questions about the peculiarities of English spelling. Most books (and pre-service training) assume that spelling is a peripheral matter, but it is actually central, since phonological awareness is basic to both intelligibility and listening perception. I highly recommend Adam Brown’s book because it is well-designed to give teachers a solid resource for answers to students’ questions about this difficult and crucial subject."
--Judy Gilbert, bestselling author, teacher, and teacher trainer
