Letters from Roger: Exercises in Communication.
Campbell, Russell N.; Bracy, Maryruth
This book is designed for low-intermediate to advanced students of English as a second language. It provides a look at the world that awaits the foreign student who is to be suddenly immersed in an English-speaking society. The format involves a number of letters written by an American university student to a foreign student planning a trip to the United States. The letters discuss American life and various current issues and problems. The topics in the letters are supplemented with enclosures demonstrating several styles of English. Informal letters, newspapers, magazines, textbooks, formal essays, application blanks, research papers, and songs provide language variety. Questions, composition exercises, and letter-writing assignments provide practice for the student. Unfamiliar grammar, vocabulary, and idiomatic usage are discussed. (VM)
