PREFACE BY PAMELA WALSH

Readers the world over share a tendency to judge a book by its title. This being the case, what are we to make of I hume you?

Having aroused our curiosity, Gordon Reynolds proceeds to take the reader on a journey of discovery. As well as being readable and enjoyable as a novel in its own right, I hume you is also a valuable contribution to research in the field of language learning.

Experience has taught us the need for students to be exposed to a variety of inputs within the learning environment. This original and imaginative narrative makes excellent use of the author's considerable teaching experience. This in turn allows him to share his vision with all those involved in learning English.

One of the greatest challenges facing language learners today is the need to recognize and exploit our personal learning styles. In doing this we can unlock the door to a whole range of additional and exciting sources of learning.

Regardless of individual learning style, this book is cleverly constructed in such a way as to offer every student the chance to make progress.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
