Description
“Communication
Skills in English” is a basic book that can provided
a foundation for further study in the field of English language, literature,
grammar and its usage. It will benefit students who are learning the essentials
at the Diploma level and those who wish to review the concepts previously
learned. The premise of this book is to understand English language and its
practice thus enabling us to use it more effectively. This skill can enhance personal
communication, college/university work finally percolating down to professional
lives. Therefore, the present book will be useful for advanced level students
who face difficulty with grammar and need a book for reference and practice.
In writing this book, I have drawn
on many years of my expertise in teaching, research, and writing. I Have taught
the English language in a range of institutions and to multiple age groups at
different levels: at a college of further education, and universities. Therefore,
this book in front of you is a systematic account of grammatical forms and the
way they are used in standard British English today. The emphasis is on the
meanings and how the govern the choice of grammatical patterns. The book is
thorough in its coverage but also pays attention to the points that are of importance
to the intermediate and advanced learners of English, and to their teachers. It
would be equally suitable for quick reference to details and the more leisured
study of grammar topics.
A useful feature of the book is the
inclusion of example text and conversations, many of them authentic, to show
how grammar is used in connected writing and speech. Study the rules, review
the examples, and look for more examples of good writing in newspapers,
magazines, and other available sources on the internet. Complete the exercises
to practice what you have learned, but also remember to apply the rules
whenever you speak and write.
There are writing test exercises
too for assessing the reader’s progress. Although every effort has been made to
make the book as useful and accurate as possible but if students of teachers
have any comments, criticisms, or suggestions I would be very pleased to hear
from them. The more you use what’s written in this book, the better you would
be able to apply it in real life.
In the end, you will be a better
and more effective speaker and writer. You’re on your way—good luck!
