Description
Orient Blackswan Basics of Academic English 1 by Sachin Ketkar
Basics of Academic English 1 has been written bearing in mind the need for comprehensive textbooks that fulfil the requirements of the Foundation Course in English under the Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) introduced for undergraduate students of arts, commerce and science in Gujarat. This is a skills-based book for students of semester 3, and it aims to build on the knowledge acquired in semesters 1and 2.The aim is to develop the communication skills required in academic situations through practice exercises and activities done by students rather than only through what is taught by the teacher. Many of the themes, contexts and sample texts in the lessons are drawn from everyday life. This allows students to adapt, consolidate and actively make use of what they learn outside the classroom.
