- 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?
