Communicative English Grammer
Communicative English Grammer is a unique book which can be used both as a textbook and a reference book. It is designed for native speakers and non-native speakers of English, either as a second or foreign language. It is relevant and useful to students, teachers at all levels of education and other people interested in English Language, such as public speakers, education quality assurers, office front desk workers, publishers as well as English Language Curriculumn developers.
The uniqueness of this book is manifested in manyfold features which are not found in other grammar books currently available in the book market. First, it is rich in English Language usage illustrations which are also easy to understand and use in real-life situations. Second, it has incorporated full-forms of words usually used when writing and short-forms of words used when speaking. Third, the book has also included some Kiswahili words currently recognized as East African English (EAfrE) in Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary 7th and 9th editions which makes it also to be relevant and useful to foreigners when staying in East Africa as tourists to facilitate their communication with East African citizens.
On the otherhand, this book significantly contributes to the growth of Kiswahili as an international language being the 10-top. Every 7th of July is today recognized as International Kiswahili day. As a fact, this book develops in the reader not only language competence but also communicative competence.
Indeed, the author of this book is a reputable writer possessing distinguishable knowledge and experience about the English language, writing with full commitment and determination as aa becoming prolific writer as his vision and mission in the publishing industry.
The topics contained in this book are valid and reliable around the world, putting into consideration that English is an International language. In 1984, the late Julius K. Nyerere, former president of Tanzania, asserted that “English is Kiswahili of the world.” These words emphasized the importance of understanding English as an international language. Thus, this book has universal relevance and application which make it withstand the test of times throughout ages.
Accordingly, I recommend this book to be available in the shelves of every library at secondary schools, colleges and universities, even in the shelves of Regional Libraries where it can be accessd by wide audience of readers because of its importance.
