Introducing discourse analysis

Language, in its natural state is not isolated sentences: it is text. As teachers of second language users our priority is to help our learners engage with texts. In this witty and incisive book Scott Thornbury takes discourse apart to show how it is organised.

Starting with an examination of genre, he goes on to look at how we structure written and spoken text. Scott shows how these insights affect our work as language teachers and suggests practical activities that can be used in the classroom to help students work with texts.

Beyond the Sentence will help you:
• find, select and adapt text for language teaching
• unpack the hidden message of texts
• evaluate and use learners' texts in a more constructive ways
