Summary

"Teaching English: Linguistics and Literature Combined" explores the inextricable link between literature and language. Despite being treated as separate subjects in traditional Nigerian secondary schools, literature and English are deeply interconnected. This book highlights the need to merge these disciplines to enhance students' understanding and proficiency.We examine how literary teachers often focus on the socio-cultural, economic, and religious meanings of texts, while linguistic elements receive less attention. This imbalance can lead to students excelling in literary analysis but struggling with English language skills. Our book argues for a symbiotic relationship between literature and language, suggesting integrated teaching approaches to improve education and learning outcomes.Through practical suggestions, we aim to address the poor academic performance observed at secondary and tertiary levels in Nigeria. By fostering a comprehensive understanding of both literature and language, students can achieve greater proficiency and success.

    We broke our new series on learning Bulgarian down into different learning stages. Start with the "Lower Beginner" books followed by the "Beginner" and "Upper Beginner" books. Next, progress to the "Intermediate" series, then test and reinforce your knowledge with the "Conversations" series. 
    This audiobook is divided into units.While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise Bulgarian. 
    In Unit 1 you will hear Bulgarian decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said. 
    Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native Bulgarian speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language. 
    By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand Bulgarian. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Bulgarian at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Bulgarian, Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences. 
    In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with.

    Learn Conversational Haitian Creole Vol. 2 is an audio course for beginners or for anyone who struggles with becoming fluent in Haitian Creole. The focus of this course is to practice speaking conversational Haitian Creole from the very first lesson. Each lesson contains useful everyday phrases related to a specific topic. 
    In these lessons, you’ll be introduced to several “conversation connectors”. Phrases like “as a matter of fact”, “frankly speaking”, “as you already know” and more. By using such phrases, your conversations will have a more natural flow. You will also expand your vocabulary and talk about daily activities, work, plans, and needs. 
    Based on techniques and strategies that make language learners succeed: 
    Learn in short bursts every day. Each lesson takes about 10–15 minutes to complete. 
    Learn in context. Isolated words or random sentences won’t get you far. By learning phrases related to a specific topic or situation, you will see much better results. 
    Focus on high-frequency words. Starting with the most frequently used words will boost your comprehension and communication in your target language. 
    Review the material. Repeating the phrases at certain specified intervals is a powerful technique to help your memory absorb and recall what you have learned. 
    Listen to native speakers. All the phrases are translated and spoken by native speakers.
