A Warm Helpful Systematic approach - By: Jonathan Miller, 04 Apr 2007
`English Start' is a warm, helpful systematic approach to learning English for speakers of other languages & their teachers.

Yasmin Esack has put together a straight forward guide, ideal for those who need to master the art of the English vocabulary & students who want to accurately learn to speak, write, understand & communicate easily in English whatever their age. The book follows the UK system of course design & is an ideal resource for those who are teaching English as a foreign language.

`English Start' presents the fundamentals of English grammar in a series of practical real life scenarios with methodical exercises for listening, speaking, writing & reading, to solidify English language skills as they are learned while a balanced stress on the use of correct grammar is balanced by a heavy emphasis on oral communication skills.

Yasmin Esack, bilingual herself, was ideallly qualified to resource such a book as she founded the Northern Technical School of Computers & Languages in Trinidad & Tobago, delivering a government approved English Language course. She remained as the Director of Curriculum & Training at the school for the following five years.

`English Start' delivers programmes to foreign clients who need to learn to read, write, speak & listen to English in a short space of time. It provides international certification in an enjoyable manner. Yasmin has successfully taught members of the diplomatic core, ambassadors & military personnel as well as young people an approach reflected in the engaging methods of this book.
