The beginner's English book for the use of adult students

About this book

Mary E. Nolin’s elementary English manual is for adults learning English, using short exercises to teach vocabulary, grammar, and everyday usage. In the early lessons, Miss Miller places pencils, papers, and boxes in different positions, giving learners repeated practice with color, size, and prepositions. Later, questions about where, when, why, and how lead into definitions of common expressions such as “put off” and “run away.” The method is deliberate and repetitive, with practice rather than explanation doing most of the teaching.
