Synopsis

Teachers and Translators: Enhancing their Reading and Writing Skills recommends that language teachers incorporate the reading and writing connection together with the influence of L1 culture as essential elements to achieve textual competence in the target language.

The purpose is to activate students' background knowledge, consolidate their critical thinking skills, raise their awareness in relation to varieties of English, figures of speech and coinages and, at the same time, encourage classroom research in such fields as journalese, legal and business English. Expository essay-writing is also incorporated in the course, following such patterns as the Comparison and Contrast essay and the Classification form

Ali's Well That Ends Well -...

Ali Wentworth

New York Times bestselling author Ali Wentworth offers a comedic look at family, friendship, and lessons learned during the Covid-19 pandemic in her new collection of laugh-out-loud comic vignettes. 
Like many, Ali Wentworth spent the pandemic seesawing between highs, lows, and baking an unnecessary amount of chocolate cake. Between binging every tv show in existence to conquering TikTok to becoming a (semi) empty-nester, Ali experienced her share of turmoil (including an early case of Covid), but she also grew a little, learned a lot, and found comfort in some unexpected people and places. 
In Ali’s Well That Ends Well, Wentworth turns her gimlet eye to the year no one saw coming. With her signature irreverent style, she shares the most hysterical, absurd, and sometimes trying episodes that her family endured during the terrible global pandemic. Thoroughly relatable, absolutely charming, and filled with moments both hilarious and poignant, this terrific collection once again showcases the comedic genius of a beloved star who is “the girlfriend you want to have a glass of wine with, the one who makes you laugh because she sees the funny and the absurd in everything"" (Huffington Post).

God is Like a Box of Crayons -...

Chris Stanley

Without light, there is no color. 
An object appears colored because of the way it interacts with light. The color itself comes from the light. The blue crayon is only blue because of the amount of light that is present, absorbed, and reflected off the crayon. 
Matthew 24 says "Here’s another way to put it: You’re here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world." 
We are God’s crayons! He wants us to color this world by shining light on every part. 
Our mission is to color the entire world. 
In this book, we’ll explore how God is like a box of crayons by looking at the colors that are inside of the box. 
I am excited to color this world with you through this 30-day devotional. God is light, He is color, God is Like a Box of Crayons. 
Includes 31 downloadable devotional adult coloring pages for you to print off.
