520 _aTeachers of English need to have a good prductive command of the language. However, this alone is ont enough; they also need to know how the language works. About Language Second edition asks: `What is it that a teacher needs to know about English in order to teach it effectively?` The book develops teachers` language awareness through a wide range of tasks, which involve them in analysing English to discover its underlying systems. This second edition has been fully revised and updated incorporating recent developments in language description, whilst keeping the organisation and structure of the successful first edition. It consists of 31 units, with new material focusing on varieties of English, models of grammar, spoken grammar, and phraseology. Each unit contains up to 12 tasks and the language is illustrated with authentic sources, from corpora and websites to novels and newspapers.
