The English Patchwork
by Pedro Tozzi and Giovanna Lima
The English Patchwork is a natural method of English teaching, which means it does not rely on another language to teach. Taking hints from context, marginal notes, and the book’s beautiful illustrations, students must figure out the meaning of each new word and grammatical concept as they read. Keeping themselves actively engaged with the language throughout each lesson, students are able to learn more efficiently, and achieve fluency much faster. At the end of each chapter, new grammar topics are explained in English as well, and followed by exercises and questions.
