It is in this context that this workbook is very relevant and addresses some of the core issues we need to retain our students in. It is that book that provides in one place a compendium of all relevant things of English language, starting from basic sounds / letters and going through the layers of grammar and paragraph (discourse). From the language learning perspective, I think some of the most relevant aspects that caught my eye in this book are the following:
Ø As we move to academic writing, it’s necessary that students must be good at written communication. And to contribute this area this workbook contains enough ground level practice through suitable activities.
Ø As requirement of world of today, no option to better communication, one should be able to express ideas with clarity holding in appropriate contents and skills of language.
