The ESL Miscellany, now in its sixth edition, is a well-loved,
eclectic compendium of useful and interesting information for
teachers and advanced English Language Learners. It is known among
teachers as "the book you would most want to have with you if you
were stuck on a desert island or teaching in a very remote place."
It can be used in the following ways: 1) as a resource for
developing your own lessons or a complete curriculum; 2) as a
photocopiable source for handouts; 3) as a guideline for those who
practice eclecticism; and 4) as a reference book for teachers and
advanced students of English anywhere in the world. The ESL
Miscellany is divided into five parts called Aspects, which consist
of extensive, reliable lists covering almost every aspect teachers
need: - The Linguistic Aspect contains information about the
language (North American English) itself, including Phonology,
Morphology, Lexicon, and Grammar. - The Communicative Aspect
outlines the way in which the language is used to send and receive
messages. It includes checklists of Situational Contexts (basic
daily needs, work, education, recreation) and checklists of Topical
Content (food, cooking, eating, clothes), as well as a
Communicative Functions Checklist for various language levels. -
The Cultural Aspect provides extensive information about the
culture of the US and Canada, and their respective people and
governments. Interesting and helpful statistics support this
information. Topics include cities and states of the US, provinces
and major cities of Canada, entertainers, heroes, the US National
Anthem, the Canadian National Anthem, the Declaration of
Independence, the Pledge of Allegiance, and more. -The
Metalinguistic Aspectand Miscellaneous Materials section includes
materials which help facilitate the teaching/learning process as
well as various materials which don't fit neatly into other
categories. Topics include a Glossary of Grammatical Terms, a Brief
Guide to Pronunciation, Roman Numerals, and Measurement Terms and
Equivalents. - The Paralinguistic Aspect includes some examples of
communicative systems which lie outside of the language itself,
such as International Sign Language, Parental Gestures, Children's
Gestures, Gestures of Greeting and Leave-taking. Of high interest
is a photographic catalog of 61 gestures which are commonly used in
North America.
