George Yule's literary perspective is deeply informed by his extensive experience as an English teacher and applied linguistics professor across diverse global settings. His academic career, spanning prestigious institutions like the Universities of Edinburgh, Hawaii, Louisiana State, and Minnesota, has provided him with a rich, international viewpoint on language acquisition and use. This broad practical and theoretical foundation likely underpins a nuanced and insightful approach to his writing. Readers can expect a work grounded in a profound understanding of how language functions and is taught in varied cultural contexts.
This book is intended for teachers of English.
An exploration of how any language produced by man, spoken or written, is used to communicate for a purpose and within a context.
Oxford Practice Grammar knows that students need different types of explanation and practice at each stage of their study.
