Summary:

This book will serve to provide the reader with the communicative and language skills necessary to function in modern society, discussing the language and communication enterprise within the current usages of the modern English language. It identifies the descriptive functioning of language, as well as the communicative processes involved in its usage. The book takes a new look at traditional language skills from a modern perspective, focusing on their importance as communication tools for the twenty-first century learner of the English language. The reality of technology as part of the modern life is also brought to bear on the discussions in the book, showing that its application to reading can serve to fast-track the mastery of reading efficiency. As the book will serve to make the user of the English language in the twenty-first century effective in all their endeavours that require its usage, it will be particularly useful for learners of English as a second language.
