My name is Elizabeth Probert. I am writing on behalf of my HOD English,
Terry Locke, at Pakuranga College, Auckland, New Zealand, who has just
produced a text entitled Every Student's English Language Manual. The
text currently exists in a New Zealand edition and is about to be
produced in an Australian edition. The text aims to give students easy
access to basic language terms and a language with which to talk about
language. It covers such basic areas as diction, spelling, syntax,
punctuation and parts of speech. It also looks at the language usage
appropriate to such genres as the expository essay, reporting,
persuasive language and such literary genres as the short story and
poetry. The text is in A4 format, is easy to use, has been cheaply
produced and is drilled in such a way that it fits simply at the front
of a student's English folder. It is pitched for students from Forms 5-7
(i.e. Grades 10-12). Teachers wishing to view a copy can write to Terry
Locke, Pakuranga College, Pigeon Mountain Rd, Bucklands Beach, Auckland,
New Zealand. To obtain a copy please send Aust $6.40 or US $5.70. This
would allow for a copy to be sent air mail. Terry is certainly
interested in the idea of an American edition. Anyone interested in
helping Americanis(z!)e his English?
