Better English Teaching with this great book!!
Teaching English as a second language can be a drag. One too many dull and boring grammar lessons will take the purpose and motivation out of learning English. With this book the clever author has tied jokes with Grammar structures that has been a real hit with the majority of my students. Seeing what is absurd, as well as what is ironic in launguage, helps a foreign student understand the structures that are not grammar that make language what it is. I would recomend this book to Schools and individuals who teach English as a Foreign language. This author is a genius!

Excellent
I am an English lecturer at Yildiz Technical University, at the English Preparatory School, in Istanbul, Turkey,. After I had explored "Lesson with Laughter", the route of my lessons changed. I would like to congratulate this genius man. I have just seen that he has written "Grammar with Laugter". I'll have it as soon as possible.

Knock knock! Who's there? Peter! Peter who? Peter Schit!
I must warn teachers not to approach this book. It's basically a collection of the most god-awful Christmas cracker/ ice-lolly-stick jokes you've ever heard, arranged according to grammatical type and with key grammar words (e.g. modal verbs) missing.

I seems that this could only provoke one of two reactions from students:

1) They fail to understand the puns, meaning you have to explain them. It hardly needs to be said that your lesson will be in deep trouble if this goes on too long e.g. if more than one is attempted

2) They get the jokes, and regard you with deep, silent contempt, possibly veiled by fake titters from the more polite.

Of course, a third option is always possible- that 'Grammar with Laughter' could result in hearty mirth, belly laughs and the slapping of thighs. But would you really want to be teaching such a class?
