Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Throughout his 45 years of experience of teaching Englishin the Arab world, Francis Andrew has consistentlynoticed that many ELT materials are heavily culturallyweighted to such an extent that it is often difficult for nonwesternlearners of English to relate to the contents of suchmaterials presented to them. This inability to understand andrelate to textbooks which are biased towards western cultureand traditions severely hampers English language learning inconservative societies, Notwithstanding the realisation of thisdrawback,, the author is cognizant of two crucial factors whichare, the need of the culture through which language is acquired,,and that different societies relate to western culture in differentways and at various levels. Progress in English has successfullynavigated between Scylla and Charybdis in presenting theEnglish language student with texts which are not devoid ofthe culture within which the English is inevitably embedded,yet is not so thickly over-layered as to be incomprehensibleto the average learner. The author trusts that you will findProgress in English pedagogically fruitful and at the same timeculturally enriching.
