New York - Nathaniel Altman - Bog

New York: City of Dreams offers 28 reading selections about New York City: its history and culture, getting around, where to go, what to see and what to do. Most of the topics are common knowledge to people who have grown up in New York City, but are new and interesting to visitors and immigrants. This book was written mostly for beginner students of ESOL, but it can also be useful to ABE-HSE and EL-Civics students. It provides vocabulary practice, comprehension exercises, grammar points and follow-up discussion suggestions. Written by an ESOL teacher who is also a native New Yorker, City of Dreams is part cultural reader, part guidebook and part vocabulary and conversation textbook. Along with its companion volume New York: City of Opportunity (written for higher level students) it is the first ESOL reader about the Big Apple.
