Based on years of experience teaching English to non-native speakers, this insightful How To guide describes not only the particular challenges that multilinguals face compared to native English speakers but also the unique benefits of working in multiple languages.

Throughout this engaging and practical book, Shai Dothan explores the mastery of the English language, reflecting on the common problem of perfecting your English whilst also practicing and refining other languages. This book serves as a guide to improving writing styles and presentation skills, especially of non-native English speakers by providing techniques for improved public speaking, reading, and writing. With an accessible approach, chapters teach a wide range of useful skills including how to excel in exams, publish in multiple languages, and develop your ‘inner ear’.

Designed for multilinguals who wish to improve their English, this guide will be an invaluable and invigorating resource for students and researchers who are seeking to hone their English language skills. It can be used to accompany English language courses in an academic or professional setting and can also be read individually as a self-help book. Researchers, students, and professionals working in the field of law will find the book particularly relevant.
