MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 17, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- For Imogene B. Shultz, teaching her students English prompted discouragement and disinterest. That's when she wrote her own lessons, which have worked brilliantly for many students who struggle with the structure of the English language. In her new book, English - Not Anguish (now available through 1stBooks), she has compiled years of worksheets and lessons into this easy-to-use volume.
Grammar, punctuation, capitalization, number usage and abbreviations are the bread of the English-learner's educational diet, and Shultz complements them with extra treats, such as constructing writing, interviewing for jobs and writing thank you letters. After using these lessons, Shultz's students' interest in English skyrocketed, and their grades steadily climbed. She created exercises that address the issue of English language structure from the student's perspective, making it straightforward, challenging and fun.
A successful veteran teacher, Shultz offers her lessons to other teachers in the field. With exercises on everything from personal pronouns to commas to the infamous "who/whom" question, Shultz's new book has helped many students, home-schooling parents and even students of English as a second language understand this complicated and challenging language.
Shultz earned a degree from St. Cloud State University in St. Cloud, Minn., and took additional courses at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. She continues to teach and tutor in her spare time. This book also offers solutions to exercises. The student version, English - Not Anguish: Text and Exercises, is also available from 1stBooks.
