Masincokole NGesiXhosa (‘Let us have a conversation’ in isiXhosa) is a basic communication resource for additional language students who want to learn to speak isiXhosa.
The aim of the book is to equip students, whose mother-tongue is not isiXhosa, with isiXhosa communication skills. By emphasising practical usage and conversations, students using the book will develop a more natural and intuitive understanding of the language, which can be beneficial for both academic and personal interactions.
It can also prepare non-mother tongue speakers for real-world situations, such as social interactions, interviews, or community engagement.
Perfect for beginning students of Spanish, this affordable
anthology is filled with 41 delightful stories and proverbs based
on works of Don Juan Manuel, Luis Taboada, Ricardo Palma, and other
noted writers. Complete and faithful English translations are
featured on the facing pages of the Spanish text. Exercises are
also included.
This book makes punctuation more fun and easier to learn than
traditional approaches do. It teaches the natural way, by example:
each lesson begins with quotes that exemplify good punctuation and
sentence structure. Quotations are humorous and informative, drawn
from the words of notable figures-Shakespeare, Mark Twain, Jerry
Seinfeld, Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Jennifer Lawrence, and many
others. Short essays accompany each lesson, showing how each
punctuation mark originated and how its use has altered over time.
Correct punctuation is vital for clear, accurate, and natural
writing. Anyone preparing a course assignment, applying for a job
or for college admission, or doing any other formal writing needs
to know the standard conventions of punctuation. Yet many people
have never been taught how to punctuate. A necessary addition to
any writer's bookshelf, this enjoyable book will teach readers to
punctuate effectively and confidently-through over 500 memorable
quotes and clear explanations of the rules.
The primary aim of Writing Research is to create a frame of
reference for writing research from a number of approaches to
inquiry; and for a number of purposes. The content is directed to
identifying principles for writing from within commonly used
methodologies and methods in health research, which will guide
writers to transform research data into written forms. The emphasis
will be on the writing task, not on how to conduct the research,
which follows after research data has been collected. The
explanatory aspects of the content of the book will assist
researchers in the development of research proposals and those who
critique or review research for any purpose. The theory and
practice of research writing are comprehensively covered.
Information on how to arrange material for specific purposes is
provided. A range of commonly used research approaches is
encompassed, and the writing task is discussed from within each.
The writing process is linked to a philosophical basis of the
research approach.
