  • "In this activity-based textbook, Rebecca Hughes invites the reader to examine the differences between spoken and written English. Instead of presenting the student reader with a bewildering array of 'facts' about these two modes of communication, this book asks students to investigate the differences for themselves. Having worked through this book, students will have considered a wide range of spoken and written varieties and will be able to formulate their own opinions as to the differences present. English in Speech and Writing will be an essential text for students of language, linguistics and communication studies, as well as non-native speakers of English and their teachers."
  • "This work provides an overview of the differences between spoken and written English and is an "interactive" task-based text. Rather than presenting numerous facts about spoken and written language, it asks the reader to consider the means of the production of discourse and to apply these insights to a wide range of examples. By the end of the book, the reader will have had the opportunity to consider material from an extensive selection of spoken and written varieties, including standard and non-standard English, and are encouraged to formulate their own opinions with regard to lexis and structure. In addition, the tasks that have been incorporated into the end of every chapter provide suggestions for further self-study and follow-up work."
