徐美锡编写的这本《玩英语：美国小孩的英语教室》收录的内容，包括美国老师在指导孩子们生活和学习时使用的对话，上课或休息时的师生问答，以及美国孩子们的日常对话，并且根据我国的情况，进行了进一步地编排与整理。可以说是用生动的美国英语讲述我们的校园生活。就算不加入“英语角”，孩子们也能够通过本书的学习，用英语和自己的好朋友交流。另外，书中收录的美国教室内的学习规则、公告等内容，也可以帮助孩子们了解美国的校园文化。

书中不仅介绍了那些由两三个词组成的简单句子，还介绍了结构稍微复杂的句子，内容丰富。读者们可以先练习掌握那些既能够完全表达自己的意思，又非常简单的句子，通过这种方法获得信心。随后由简入难，继续学习复杂的句子。老师们也可以通过本书，营造良好的英语教学环境。

《玩英语：美国小孩的英语教室》收录了在小学英语教室使用的生动真实的对话。我国小学英语教材的主题一直偏离于我们的日常生活，经常使用并不常见的表达方式，这么说并不为过。作者徐美锡从美国学校最常使用的对话方式中，整理出最符合非英语国家英语教育的119个主题。所有这些主题都是在学校内最经常使用的英语对话，孩子们可以轻松有趣地学习英语。

《玩英语：美国小孩的英语教室》由化学工业出版社出版发行。
