Summary:
The three pocketbooks comprising the English Through Pictures series
are the remarkable invention of I.A. Richards and Christine Gibson,
who designed them to help the learner speak, read and write English
in the quickest and clearest possible way - through pictures. The
authors have made a careful selection of the most widely useful
English words, choosing those with the power to define other words,
and have put them to work in key patterns that offer the learner the
ability to communicate successfully in English. Book 1 contains a
vocabulary of 250 such words, with an additional 500 developed in
Book 2; these 750 words are then used in Book 3 to build a command of
1000 words which, by their defining power, hold the possibility of
understanding as much as another 20,000 words of English. Throughout
English Through Pictures, responsibility for learning is placed
directly on the learner, who from the very start enjoys the ability
to put essential words to work creating key sentence patterns where
meaning is clearly shown in pictures. These simplified drawings allow
learners to focus on the sentence and to enjoy growing confidence as
they successfully take control of language, with the workbooks in
Books 1 and 2 challenging and reinforcing their growing competence as
both speakers and readers. Motivated and inspired, learners will soon
find to their delight that fluent communication in English - the
common language of today's world - lies well within their grasp.
English Through Pictures has already been used successfully by
millions of learners in more than forty countries.
