‘ ʽI hear many teachers say that students need
general English before they can tackle EAP
but I’m not really sure what they mean by
general English. If they mean the English that
is found in many coursebooks, then this is
English to talk about yourself, your likes,
dislikes and hobbies; this is English for
conversational purposes.’
My Teaching English Blog, Olwyn Alexander

Problems with General
English coursebooks –
Masuhara’s analysis
• Reading: ‘scarcity of extensive
reading’
• Writing: ‘neglect of writing’
• Speaking: lack of purpose, specified
audience and real-life outcomes
