English for Pre-Degree Students 1: A Workbook

The spoken and written communication in English of many a

university student sadly reveals a less than satisfactory

understanding of the use of language, particularly for academic

purposes. The structural, lexical and phonological difficulties

faced by the student all clearly point to an insufficient grasp and

command of the most essential elements- parts of speech, phrases,

clauses and other components of the sentence- and of course the

basic aspects of the sound system. Such poor performance in the

language has, undoubtedly, a direct correlation with the general

performance in the student‘s course area. In other words, a good

command of English at both spoken and written levels plays a key

part in the overall performance of the student.
