1 Mr. Stan s Compact Disk English Language Program STUDENT TEXTBOOK The fastest and best way to learn Conversational English and to have a great American English Accent!

2 Other Languages Available In Mr. Stan s English: This program is designed to be used in English only immersion classes. The purpose of the translated material is to eliminate the need to look words up in a bi-lingual dictionary which is time wasting and frustrating for the students. Because English Language Classes frequently have several different languages spoken by students in a single class, this program uses the same English text for every student in the class. Based on the 1000 most frequently used words in the English language, words are presented in-context in typical everyday conversational situations. The program is designed to be used like flash cards where spaced repetition enhances the student s ability to quickly lock words and phrases into long-term memory. This unique system is research based and has been scientifically shown to greatly speed English language learning. Used with the accompanying Computer Program & Audio CD the student also acquires the proper pronunciation right from the start. Students progress to conversational ability in as short a time as possible. Extensive classroom testing has proven this process to be the most effective strategy an English language teacher can use to help students learn English quickly and easily. Mr. Stan s English Language Program is available in: Arabic Hindi Punjabi Armenian Hmong Romanian Bulgarian Hungarian Russian Chinese Italian Spanish Czech Japanese Telugu English Korean Thai Farsi Mongolian Turkish French Nepalese Urdu German Polish & Hebrew Portuguese Vietnamese To Order Mr. Stan s English Language Program Call: (916) Or eslstan@yahoo.com 2

3 Acknowledgment There are so many people to thank that to start with any name would be to risk forgetting one. All I can say is that this work was a joint effort of so many people over so many years that I can hardly be said to be its author. At most it is merely my framework modified by clearer thinkers than myself. But thanks must go to the teachers and colleagues who not only proofread and corrected my text but tested its veracity in the classroom with many, many students to document its validity. To my superiors in the administration who not only encouraged me but supported the introduction of the material into the classrooms, I can only offer my heartfelt thanks. Many others would not have looked so kindly upon new and novel material and teaching methodologies. The nearly uncountable number of students, and in some cases family members of students, who volunteered their time and efforts to translate the material and the many others whose critical review and confirmation of translated material ensured its accuracy and completeness were a joy to work with and to learn from. Lastly, my family who endured my near obsession with the minutest of details in the work not to mention the thousands of hours and expenses incurred along the way with their support and active encouragement at every turn in the road, I can scarcely begin to explain how much that love was felt and so very deeply appreciated. 3

6 STUDENTS PLEASE... THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!!! English is a very different language from all other languages. Words are not always spelled the way they sound.... and some letters of the alphabet have several different sounds. Therefore, you must (absolutely must).... HEAR the word... SEE the word... and SAY the word OUT LOUD when you are studying English. LOOK LISTEN SPEAK 1. You must pronounce the words in a clear voice to get the proper English Accent! This is very important. Only with a recording that you can repeat, and repeat, and repeat again will you get the accent perfected. 2. This is why you must hear the words being spoken by a native English speaker and say them aloud yourself. It is impossible to read silently and learn to actually speak English with a good accent. 3. And finally you must look at the words on the printed page while both hearing and saying them out loud. This is the only way to learn how to spell the word. You will not be able to write English sentences unless you can spell the words correctly. Remember: 30 minutes a day, everyday, and you will achieve your goal! 6

7 ÖĞRENCİ BU BİLGİ ÖNEMLİDİR!!! İngilizce çok farklı bir dildir diğer dilerden kelimeleri her zaman sesli hecelemeye benziyor. Mektup alfebetine ayrı değişik bir sesle bu nedenle yaplışını yapmak çok önemlidir. Bak kelimelere ne zaman İngilizceyi okuduğunda yüksek sesle söylemelisin. BAK DİNLE KONUŞ 1. Yapmalısın İngilizce telafuzunu anlaşılır sesle hazırlamalısın İngilizce aksentini düzgün sesle bu çok önemlidir. Ve sadece teyiple tekrarla ve yine tekrarla asentin olacak mükemel. 2. Doğal İngilizceyi konuşman için konuş İngilizce konuşanla onlarla her zaman kendi başına konuşmaya çalış. Bu olanaksızdır İngilizceyi suskun yaparsan ve hiç bir zaman İngilizcen gelişmiyecek herzaman İngilizceyi dene İngilizce konuşanla ve İngilizcen mükemel olacak. 3. Bakmalısın basılan kağıda herzaman yüksek sesle konuşmalısın konuşma yolu budur. Sadece öğrenme yolu budur. Kelimeleri bir az heceliyebilirsen karşındaki o zaman seni rahatlıkla anlıyacaktır ve unutme hergün 30 dakki praktik yapmayı o zaman maksadına ulaşacaksın. 7
