This is a different kind of success story.Success is not always about wealth or fame.For most, success is achieved through personal growth, satisfying careers, comfortable lifestyles and rewarding relationships.This is a story for people of all ages --          to provide something positive and uplifting-          to provide inspiration, not by famous movie, TV or sports stars, but by ordinary people-          to provide examples of the significance in ordinary lives so people can feel better about their own lives-          to provide youngsters with direction, motivation and experiences that illustrate how people order their lives and how parents can have more of an impact on the lives of their children-          to provide an understanding of what values, traits and thought processes are essential to the development of successful lives.It is hoped that this book will change some habits, nudge people of all ages in the right direction and encourage them to explore ways to make their lives successful. It is a positive, upbeat, revealing portrait of 11 men from Holland Avenue in the Bronx, New York spanning more than 60 years. An emotional, passionate, psychological portrayal it shows how each of these Boys, from working class backgrounds, has developed with respect to personal growth, careers, lifestyles and relationships while maintaining a camaraderie, brotherhood and intimacy through interaction and support for each other. The story vividly reflects character traits that have contributed to their successes and helped them overcome obstacles. It shows genuine feelings for each other, recounts poignant memories of their early lifestyle, informs as to how their successes have impacted on wives, children, parents and others and tells how they see their futures developing.

The Picture This! A Beginning ESL Teacher's Resource Book is designed to introduce non-English speakers living in the United States to the vocabulary commonly encountered in this country. Purchasers of this book are entitled to reproduce all activities as many times as they like, thus making it a one-time investment for years' worth of teaching. The Picture This! A Beginning ESL Teacher's Resource Book is a visual resource book intended for use in a beginning-level ESL classroom. It provides a strong curricular framework for teachers of junior high, high school, and adult English Language Learners. The idea of using pictures to assist in learning a language other than English comes from the old cliché: "A picture is worth a thousand words." Rather than translating a word verbally -- a practice which risks a lack of comprehension and information overload in early language learners -- instructors can use pictures to build a strong foundational vocabulary. Because it contains 30 different vocabulary units, placed in an optimal developmental order, Picture This! relieves the stress of teachers by helping them know what they will be teaching each week of the year. In addition, the uniformity, predictability, and appropriate reading level of the materials promote great success in beginning English learners who are often confused by the incomprehensible materials used in content classes.

English as a Second Language

(NOTE: The Survival English and More Survival English books are a retitled version of the Picture This! A Beginning ESL Teacher's Resource Book by Laurie Johnson. These books are designed to introduce non-English speakers living in the United States to the vocabulary commonly encountered in this country. Purchasers of the books are entitled to reproduce all activities as many times as they like, thus making it a one-time investment for years' worth of teaching.)   Survival! ESL and ELL teachers recognize this as a common goal and objective, particular in their first year of teaching. When faced with a class of 20 or more students who can’t understand what they’re saying, they are still required to keep these students engaged and learning for two or more hours a day. They need materials that these students will enjoy, and they need them as soon as possible. More Survival English: Fifteen Additional Language-Building Units Designed for the Beginning English Language Learning Student is the perfect sequel to Survival English. After building a solid vocabulary foundation in the first semester, with such thematic units as School, House, Foods, Clothing, and Weather, teachers can enrich their students' vocabulary in the second semester with diverse, interesting, and challenging new words. Each of the fifteen units contains the following items: a list of 32 words related to a particular theme; 32 picture representations of those words; a crossword puzzle; a word search puzzle; two picture quizzes; an oral dictation test; and a helpful spelling test form. Directions for how to use each item during a week are clearly stated at the beginning of the book.     The progression of vocabulary is as follows: Personal Care; Past Tense Verbs (Part One); Music; Past Tense Verbs (Part Two); Emotions; Office; Holidays; Recreation; Tools & Applicances; Senses; Car & Road; Places; Prepositions; Body (Part Two); and Airport.
