Learners of all ages can acquire oral English skills through practicing authentic scenarios based on real experiences native speakers would have. At every step, this book allows students to assess their English proficiency through the question-and-answer method and discrete written language activities. This book gives students the foundation they will need to move from beginning to intermediate, and finally, to advanced-level English.\u003cem\u003eENGLISH in the Bag\u003c\/em\u003e is founded on the key principles of Stephen Krashen's\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eComprehensible Input Hypothesis (i+1) and supports his philosophy that having \"compelling content\" is essential to learning languages: \u003cem\u003e\"Learners acquire language by receiving input (listening\/reading) that contains Structures slightly beyond their current level (i), which they can understand due to context and prior knowledge (the '+1')\". ... \"Input should be interesting and engaging enough to hold the learner's attention, making them forget they are in another language.\"\u003c\/em\u003e(Principles and Practice in Second Language Acquisition, 1982).Language acquisition is a subconscious process, not unlike the way a child learns language. Language acquirers are not consciously aware of the grammatical rules of the language but rather develop a feel for correctness. Krashen writes, \"In non-technical language, acquisition is 'picking up' a language.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Englishandspanish2you.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/20\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798218935719\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 158\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.34d","brand":"Kecia Beasley Lindsey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52418999025845,"sku":"9798218935719","price":21.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_03c56616-4761-402b-b203-cc04456d10aa.jpg?v=1775570932","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/english-in-the-bag-9798218935719","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
