“Say It Naturally” by Allie Patricia Wall is a book primarily focused on communication strategies for language learners to adapt to common situations in America. It was published in 1998, which means some of the information is outdated, such as references to calling a telephone operator. It does not include many opportunities to go over other content areas such as reading and writing, and therefore would best be used in a communication development class.

“Say It Naturally uses a functional-notional approach to help students develop communications strategies for interacting verbally within a broad range of American social situations. The chapters in Say It Naturally are arranged from common to more sophisticated notions, with a variety of activities ranging from verbal strategies and discussions questions to dialog and role plays.” -Allie Patricia Wall
