English Our English by Keith Waterhouse

There is a widespread popular concern about the state of English language teaching in the UK, especially amongst parents. The trouble with many self-help books is that they assume some knowlege of grammar, which compound the problem. This book argues that most people have an intuitive feel for language and need it to be harnessed. "English, our English" demonstrates how any one with an ear for lauguage can be taught to become a master of it.
KEITH WATERHOUSE was one of the most popular and prolific of the gritty, 'Northern' writers, for stage, screen and television, with more than 60 books, plays and television scripts to his credit. His credits, many with life-long friend and collaborator Willis Hall, include satires such as That Was The Week That Was, BBC-3 and The Frost Report during the 1960s, the book for the 1975 musical The Card, Budgie, Worzel Gummidge, and Andy Capp (an adaptation of the comic strip). Perhaps his best-known work is the highly-successful novel, play and film, Billy Liar.
