You know, I’ve come across countless English textbooks over the years. But Dele Ashade’s Invisible Teacher In English PDF? This one actually made me pause and think. There’s something almost profound about calling it one of the greatest books of all time – maybe that sounds like hyperbole, but hear me out.
What strikes me first is how comprehensive it is. The way it tackles Concord – you know, that tricky structural aspect of English that trips up so many students. And those UTME questions with solved answers? They’re not just thrown in there as an afterthought. They feel deliberate. Purposeful.
Here’s what really gets me excited about this book – it doesn’t discriminate. Whether you’re preparing for GCE, WAEC, PRE DEGREE, SSCE, JAMB UTME, POST-UTME, SAT, or even TOEFL – this book has your back. That’s rare, honestly.
But wait. There’s more to unpack here.
The structured tests caught my attention too. I mean, how many times have you worked through grammar exercises only to wonder if you got them right? The integrated answer key at the back – it’s like having a patient teacher looking over your shoulder. No judgment. Just guidance.
What I find particularly thoughtful is how the exercises aren’t arranged by difficulty level. Instead, they use asterisks to show relative complexity. It’s almost like the author understands that learning isn’t always linear. Sometimes you need to jump around. Follow your instincts. Trust your learning style.
And then there are the Oracy Skills. This is where things get interesting:
Listening Comprehension comes first – and rightfully so. There’s something beautiful about learning to grasp main points and ideas, whether you’re listening to a speech, having a conversation, sitting through a lecture, or even absorbing a poem. Those recorded materials and radio broadcasts? They’re preparing you for real life.
Vocabulary development follows naturally. The focus on words associated with religion – particularly Islamic religion – shows cultural awareness. It’s not just about English; it’s about English in context.
The second layer of Oracy Skills digs deeper. Learning to identify speaker mood, tone, and purpose? That’s not just academic skill. That’s life skill.
And honestly? There’s so much more packed in here that I haven’t even touched on.
If you’re looking for other resources, you might want to check out these recommended textbooks for WAEC and JAMB, or explore NECO past questions for additional practice.
