Abstract
-
en_US
This book for high-intermediate to advanced ESL students has four parts. Students learn to build their own language burger (xxi) by learning English in the contextual way allowed by studying proverbs, fables, myiths, and legends. The first of the four parts centers on fables, seven of which are presented: FG, TH, GGE, GA, FC, and BW. They are preceded by A Brief History of Aesop, Fables, and Proverbs. I find this a clever and engaging approach to learning American culture and language. Each fable's presentation begins with an element of popular culture using the fable and its proverbial phrases idiomatically. Clever! This copy is heavily marked.
