Dangerous English! Is the third edition of the now-classic Dangerous English! An Indispensable Guide for language Learners and Others. This latest edition has been entirely revised, updated, and expanded. While there are many new dangers in the English language, we feel that the climate is no longer too dangerous to openly discuss these languages features in the classroom. With this in mind, each chapter contains suggestions for increased linguistic awareness, plus discussion questions. There is an expanded teachers section at the end of the book.
