"Practical Word Power: . Dictionary Key to Vocabulary Development". . Published 1989 by Delta Systems, Co; reissued 2001 via www. iUniverse.com. Book's tutor teaches group of 6-10 language-handicapped adults how to pronounce English correctly from the dictionary. Only eight classroom session of two-hours each; 25 hour overall commitment from the tutor; 50 students"graduated" per year by a single tutor working one period per week. Intended to permit all minority/ethnic groups to establish their own programs independently of expensive commercial schools and inconvenient public school schedules. This book is verbatim and self-help for tutors, who must speak standard English but need not be certificated teachers. PWP is a major response to the enormous number (20%) of language-handicapped in this nation. This text is most effective at ESL levels III, IV, or V and higher; federally-termed basic; lower level if students have already demonstrated superior study skills in their native
language, such as professionals. Not for beginners! Can be taught at much
lower levels by bilingual tutors IF accompanied by an assistant who does
speak standard English and models the correct (to dictionary code) sounds.
Bilingual tutors must not be allowed to teach their own accents to students..
Concept was proved valid by unrelated findings, quoted in Science Journal (cited on a button below in a summary published by Psychology Journal; statistics, in Helmuth article). |

ESL learners gain independence in vocabulary development
to personal need! |
| You'll tutor phonetics from 45 dictionary codes, not "sound-out"
rules, lists and guesses. |
The computer has discovered over 1,100 ways by which to write the forty (40) sounds of English! Traditional school-room ‘sound-out’ is foolish for adults: slow, difficult
memorizing. Dictionaries present all the same words in fewer than 50 sound-symbols--simplified! With Practical Word Power, any volunteer who speaks standard English can tutor up to 10 limited- English
foreign-born learners and deliver independence in vocabulary development
in only 8 sessions of 2 hours each. Only 45 dictionary codes to be learned.
Easy, specific response. Proved! Useful for accent-reduction for executives and American-born learners who
currently speak non-standard English but who wish to improve.
Bonus skill: With codes learned and their bilingual dictionary in hand,
foreign-born teen/adult learners can immediately USE IN ENGLISH any word
that's known in the native language! This ends the 'sound-out' need for
memorized word lists, as taught in traditional schooling for months or
years. Lists are for children, who need basic vocabulary for their societal
needs as well as for entry into our step-curriculum system. But children
begin with a spoken vocabulary of up to twenty thousand words when learning
to read in second grade. They are further aided by pictures depicting those
known words. That vocabulary does not describe the majority of ESL learners.
Why teach adults by children's methods?
In addition, a study by Prof Eraldo Paulesu, et al, at Univ of Milan/Bicocca,
concluded that language complexity can aggravate dyslexia in students who
are genetically susceptible. We're not all suceptible: unskilled students
simply drop out. Summary on this website under "Science, Psychiatry"
Journals button (see "Support & Validation" button re:"Science"
Journal, March 16, 2001 and its "Psychiatry" summary.) PWP's original method simplifies via dictionary codes to 1/20th the complexity
of "sound-out" phonetics, Because the Paulesu, et al, original
is written in dense scientific terminology, the Helmuth companion and "Psychiatry"
articles (button below) are easier for laymen to digest.
Significantly, PWP was consistent with advanced theories of ESL at the time of its design (1981). It remained current at the time of its first publication (1989) and also remains consistent with advanced theory today, as summarized in Judith Lessow-Hurley's influential text "The Foundations of Dual Language Instruction, 3rd Edition" (Boston; Addiston-Wesley Longman, 2000). Apparently, PWP began practicing, in 1981, the same worthwhile methods, but based on Cavalier's
intuition and business meetings experience since 1960, programming for
adults. See materials under the various meetings and training books, on
this website.
