 Posted: Tue Nov 13, 2007 12:52 am Post subject: Good Preposition Workbook Resource |
 |
|
Hi everyone,
I'm looking for some good workbooks to patch up some of an adult Korean E2L learner's grasp on prepositions. The student is middle-to-high intermediate, and needs some review. I don't think I should just pull out the Azer exercises, because I'm looking for something that combines functional use of prepositional phrases as common expressions in conversation practice, as well as the grammar drill and exercises for writing/reading provided by the Azer blue edition.
I'd be really interested in some recommendations for some good books. I've got these Communication Strategies and Further Communication Strategies books by Thomson publishers but there's too much and they're all over the map thematically (although well-organized... I guess I could just select from within.) Ideally I'm looking for something that is as clear as the blue Azer Grammar reference, with some practice in context, for adults.
Any suggestions? |

Sorry to not be of any help but I'd like to ask one question?
Why the fixation and need for a "book"? Prepositions, in my opinion, unless the student is specifically learning English for writing only, are best learnt in context. They are mini "idioms" and really need the situation to take root in the brain.......
I think your student might even be better doing some drill and type exercises as found on the web than a "book".
My own feeling.

Well, it's really a fixation for a compilation of different activities. I've got books.
I've just reinvented the wheel a lot and I find it's easier to adapt and compile than compose anew. Plus I like the idea of moving from kinds of activities. I don't want it all speaking-listening based, or all reading-writing based.
But I was just looking at a few different sources in my own personal library and I think I may have come up with a format for my own workbook. I think I'll make a few copies, put some stuff together and make a kind of prototype workbook for her.
But I have this nagging feeling that someone else has already done this before, and maybe better than I'm doing now. So I'm putting it out there that I'm looking. |
