Abstract

It is divided into five chapters. The first one deals with the stylistic classification of vocabulary, so it integrates a conceptual outline of English vocabulary, the layers/norms: literal/cult (formal), neutral and colloquial (informal), and the neutral, common literal, and common colloquial vocabulary. The second one copes with some communicative functions and notions expressed in formal, neutral, informal layers. The third one is devoted to practice and progress devoted to the development of the four major skills mainly speaking. Hence it handles exercises, tongue twisters, proverbs, sayings, and phrasal verbs; it finishes with useful vocabulary at a restaurant. The fourth one achieves classroom management, and the fifth one compacts the special vocabulary related to cooking, Physical Education, Labor Education, Mechanics, Physics, Chemistry, Special Education, Geography, Mathematics, and Common Colloquial Vocabulary.
