This new edition of the bestselling Language for Life shows how language can be mastered by children and how what they have learned can be carried throughout their lives.

An indispensable guidebook for teachers, it delivers explicit, step-by-step English language instruction via lessons in syntax, grammar, morphology, etymology, and punctuation and arms students with the mental skill of thinking about language.

This in turn helps children learn much more easily from the language around them. New features for this edition include:

- an increased focus on the relationship between knowledge of parts of speech and morphology to proficiency as a writer

- creating a metalanguage between student and teacher that encourages clear two-way feedback

- an increased focus on knowledge-building using factual topics as exemplars.

Language for Life is a proven programme that is built upon years of experience.

Lyn Stone’s pragmatic and modern approach is supported by feedback from teachers and students alike who have attended her numerous classes and workshops. This book helps teachers: learn more about language structure, guide the development of skills to write accurately and in increasing volume, and support the emergence of clear and organised thinking for writing.

Brimming with vital information suitable for both basic and advanced level students, this book is an essential tool for all teachers wishing to give their students the best preparation possible to meet the demands of the modern world.

Photocopiable worksheets throughout the book put teachers in the position of linguistic expert, guiding students through an enriching journey of language discovery and creativity.
