IS THAT CLEAR? - Effective communication in a multilingual world
The little book with a big message...easy to read and packed full of invaluable tips.
English is the global language of communication, right?
So, if you’re a native English speaker, you’re fine – everyone understands you… except the problem is, they don’t.
In this punchy and thought-provoking guide, experienced authors and teachers Zanne Gaynor and Kathryn Alevizos explore why speakers of other languages often find the English we use every day hard to understand.

I thought you got the tone just right, and it made me think about my many encounters with speakers of other languages and reflect on how I might have been clearer.

ASCL and TES columnist
A great contribution to better communication. I hope it is read very widely indeed by those who still seem to think that all they have to do to be understood is to shout more loudly in English.

I enjoyed reading your book, found that the practical advice you give in it reflects ELF research/thinking very closely and accurately, and was impressed that you managed to pack so much into a relatively small space.
