Language Intelligence or Universal English: Remedial Course of Linguistic Apprenticeship

By Dr. Rimaletta Ray

Language Intelligence or Universal English by Dr. Rimaletta Ray

The book Language Intelligence or Universal English is a collection of the three volumes, Book One, Book Two, and Book Three , that represent the three parts of one, interconnected auto-training remedial course on renewing any language intelligence , in general, and the English language intelligence ,in particular. Language fitness is the main prerogative of all the three books.

Without a doubt, the globalization of economy and a new technological revolution require that we display a much higher level of language habits and speech skills, the skills that do not only meet our immediate needs of communication in English, but also the skills that generate new business opportunities and help us promote an intelligent network building, using English as the main web-tool. Building solid language intelligence is vital for rationalizing our lives at the present choice-driven and digitally focused times.

The books are helping to create breakthroughs for developing new language intelligence that, in turn, will help readers build up emotional, professional, cultural, and social intelligences that are at the core of global communication now and that are the main concepts of the book Living Intelligence that is , coming out next.

Book One- is a remedial course of linguistic apprenticeship. Its a theoretical book that is addressed to language learners/speakers who are willing to rationalize and remedy their native or the English language knowledge in the brain. There is an urgent need for language learners to know how language is being processed in the brain to be able to operate it in a much more scientifically-informed way, neuroscience-wise. It also presents a new paradigm of language learning based on the Method of the Right Language Behavior, worked out by Dr. Rimaletta Ray, a doctor of Psycholinguistics.

Book Two is a practical course. It presents the Method of the Right Language Behavior in action, focusing on remedying a readers Pronunciation, Grammar and Vocabulary habits. It contains and very well structured chunks of basic brain-focused information, and it presents the practical shot-cuts on how to build up the operative language awareness in English

Book Three is a remedial course, based on the ways that are considerably improving readers Speaking, Writing, Reading, and Listening Skills. It contains the shot-cuts of the remedial work on the speech skills and the know-how to better choreograph them in face-to- face and digital communication.

The Purpose of the Book

Renovation of intelligence in a foreign language is a hard job! The book Language Intelligence or Universal English is an auto-training, remedial course of renewing the language intelligence in English - the common vehicle of communication today. It is meant to change the error contaminated mental matrix of English in your brain and create new brain patterns of the correct language use, thus, enhancing the overall health of English in your mind with the help of the scientific and technological breakthroughs in brain science and psycholinguistics. In other words, it’s a healing English course that is designed to increase your brain activity in English in a novel way and build up a much better English mentality in your brain.

Without a doubt, the globalization of economy and new technology require you to display a much higher-level of the English language habits and speech skills, the skills that do not only meet your immediate needs of communication in English, as a global language, but also the skills that generate opportunities and help you promote an intelligent network building, using English as the main web-tool. English of this level develops the new skill of global economy - the entrepreneurial mind-set that you need to gear your personal growth in English to.

It means that you need to adapt aggressively to the three main levels of language use in digital communication - functional, operational, and systemic, seeking and creating breakthrough opportunities for developing new language intelligence that, in its turn, will help you build up emotional, professional, cultural, and social intelligences that are at the core of global communication now. (See the chart Vistas of Intelligence p. 119) So, Universal English addresses the necessity to put an end to a very casual and often incorrect communication in English and rationalize its use for the evolutionary purposes of society development.

Each language constitutes a certain model of the universe, a semiotic system of understanding the world, and English makes this understanding universal now. This book provides the modus operandi, the hierarchy of the operative forces in language remedying, and we are happy that you can benefit by using it to become a better thinker and speaker in English. So, we are aiming to create a new context of learning and healing English - from mechanical language unawareness to conscious and operative language consciousness.

Put in this light, by remedying your English that might be quite fluent, but not altogether accurate, you break through the limits of your native language consciousness and expand it to the international one. Rationalizing the English language knowledge in the brain will help you manage your English better, pass the TOEFL test, if needed, and optimize the correct use of English for the needs of the present day face-to-face and digital communication.

Space for Notes:

Let’s Rationalize the Use of English!

A Better Language is a Better You!

The book is the essence of my scientific and academic career that spans over 35 years. I designed the Method of the Right Language Behavior for the speakers of English that are willing to consciously perfect their language habits and speech skills in English to be able to enjoy the right language behavior that this book promotes. The book is motivating you as my readers and apprentices to revitalize your English, to make its grammar crystal clear, and to inspire you to create a better you on the way of perfecting your language behavior. However, it’s not enough! The spiral of your personal growth in English is what this book is all about!

The book is based on the latest developments in neuroscience and psycholinguistics, and it presents the operative know-how of the remedial work at any language. The Method of the Right Language Behavior that is presented here has been tested by me for over 35 years of my academic career. This book was not just written. It grew as a child grows. Its strategies can be easily tailored to individual differences; it can be applied to any language learning, in general, and for the English language remedial work, in particular. Language Intelligence or Universal English" is, in fact, a language therapy book that is one of a kind on the market because it incorporates the Brain talks, the Remedy Book, and the Action book
