Produktbeschreibung

Word Power: Phrasal Verbs and Compounds is a textbook for guided self-learning intended for post-intermediate and advanced learners of English. It contains some 1,100 phrasal compounds used with 17 particles/prepositions which combine with some 500 different verbs, nouns and adjectives. Numerous glosses allow the teacher to use it in very heterogeneous classes. Thanks to cognitive linguistics the material is organized around each particle giving the students an astonishing insight into the networks of metaphorical meanings of each particle. Furthermore, the book implements the most important findings and techniques in the field of learning a foreign language. This textbook will be a valuable companion for teachers and students.

Rezensionen

"Word Power should be admired for taking on the "plateau effect" (e.g. Harmer 2001:44), that is for trying to defy the law of diminishing returns that so often hampers the progress of post-intermediate and advanced learners of English. It is also obvious that a lot of thought and careful research has gone into the selection of phrasal verbs, their semantic analyses, the conceptual diagrams, the self-test exercises, the consolidation and revision sections, and so on."Teun De Rycker in: ITL, 3/ 2006
