Grounded in Nevada: A Place-Based Literary Approach to English Language Learning

Autor Lee Olsen Cu Diana Brady-Herndon, Catherine Wrucke
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 mar 2027 – vârsta ani
Successfully learning English entails engaging with the places and communities around you. Grounded in Nevada brings real-world connections to your learning experience. Through stories set in the Silver State, and excerpts from Nevada writers, you will strengthen your reading, writing, speaking, and grammar skills while exploring the state’s histories and cultures. Each chapter encourages you to connect your own experiences to what you read, allowing you to build confidence, foster agency, and internalize a deeper sense of belonging.
Chapters are organized into four parts: fictional readings about life in Nevada; published fiction and nonfiction by Nevada authors; realistic conversations to support speaking and listening practice; and grammar review and test-preparation activities. Every selection is paired with questions and prompts that invite reflection and discussion. An interactive grammar review appendix provides additional support as you continue developing your English skills and finding your place within Nevada’s communities.

Notă biografică

Lee Olsen has taught ELL, writing, literature, and history in nonprofit schools and colleges for more than fifteen years in the United States and Thailand. While completing his PhD in environmental literature at the University of Nevada, Reno, he taught advanced ELL at Northern Nevada Literacy Council. Having earned an MFA in creative nonfiction with a focus on place-based life writing from Western Washington University, Olsen recognized a lack of place-based literary resources in ELL. Therefore, he secured a Nevada Humanities grant to create this Nevada-centered textbook. Olsen currently teaches ELL and writing at the college level.
Diana Brady-Herndon earned a master’s degree in curriculum and instruction from the University of Colorado. She has more than thirty years of ELL teaching experience, including at Western Nevada College. She worked as a teacher trainer and coauthored a K–12 textbook for the Carson City School District, Nevada Academic English Language Arts Content Standards Amplification Document for English Learners.
Catherine Wrucke earned a master’s degree in Japanese studies with an emphasis in linguistics from the University of Oxford. She has more than a decade of experience teaching ELL, including in Japan and in the elementary Japanese language program which she launched in 2018 at Western Nevada College. She is a software project manager for an academic publisher.
