Ryota's Old Daybook: Language Arts & Basic English
2005/05/22
  English through Pictures

I. A. Richards, when teaching English in China, got more and more interested in teaching Basic English to starters. He kept working on it after coming to Harvard, helped by Christine Gibson. Their step-by-step way of teaching had a growth into a new system, with books like English through Pictures, French through Pictures, German through Pictures, Hebrew through Pictures, and so on.

Book 1 and 2 of English through Pictures are the best books for the first learners of Basic. Book 3 is best for the learners who are going up to a higher level.

EP, or English through Pictures, have been out of print for a long outside of Japan. But a univerisity teacher living in Thailand has kindly sent me a news that now they are back in print in Canada by a company named Pippin Publishing.
