English is Crazy

Created as the text book for the Speaking Canadian English course at Sheridan College, English is Crazy (EiC), (Originally English is Stupid), is a manual for learning spoken English. English conversation follows different rules from written English, spoken English is much simpler. Brightly colored, rife with exercises and answer keys, the six chapters of English is Crazy feature the six critical patterns or rules that drive all English conversation. No exceptions. What these rules are, their relative importance and how to teach them are found in EiC. The book uses language straight forward enough for proficient readers to teach themselves to speak English. English educators embrace the guidebook for addressing the underserved skills in ESL - Pronunciation, Listening and Speaking.
