Kemampuan menulis bukanlah bakat, melainkan keterampilan. Selain itu, juga tidak tepat jika dihubungkan dengan alasan faktor keturunan. Siapa saja dapat menjadi penulis. Syaratnya hanya satu, mulailah menulis! Itulah keunggulan para penulis yang terkenal dewasa ini. Mereka tidak akan dapat menulis jika dulu mereka tidak pernah memulainya. Ada proses yang harus dilalui. Sama halnya ketika bayi harus belajar merangkak terlebih dulu untuk dapat berjalan. Banyak orang menjadi terkenal─juga menjadi menteri─karena menulis. Seorang penulis tidak hanya penyampai aspirasi masyarakat, tetapi juga pemberi haluan bagi yang meyakini jalan pikirannya. Penulis─menurut banyak pakar─adalah pencari kebenaran setiap waktu melalui tulisan-tulisannya dan karena itu pulalah seorang penulis akan mempertahankan misinya sampai kapanpun. Jangan lupa, seorang penulis juga dapat menjadi kaya selain kaya ilmu. Buku Menulis untuk Dibaca ini memandu Anda untuk menjadi penulis feature dan kolom, yang membuka mata Anda bahwa menulis itu tidak sesulit yang dibayangkan. Kekayaan imajinasi membantu para pemula, wartawan, atau kaum profesional untuk menggarap alam terkembang ini menjadi lahan penulisan. Kehidupan ini adalah sumber penulisan. Setiap hari Anda berdekatan dengan objek tulisan, Anda hanya perlu membuka mata, telinga, rasa, dan pikiran untuk menjadikannya sebagai tulisan yang baru dan menarik.

However exciting new technologies and educational tools may seem, they can become solely for entertainment unless their design, use, and evaluation are guided by principles of education and language development. Task-based Language Teaching (TBLT) provides an excellent approach for teachers who want to realize the potential of technology to engage learners and improve language learning inside and outside the classroom. This practical guide shows teachers how to successfully incorporate technology into TBLT in the classroom and to develop technology-mediated materials. Whether the goal is to conduct a needs analysis, to develop classroom or homework materials, or to implement a new approach of student assessment, A Practical Guide to Integrating Technology into Task-Based Language Teaching will be a welcome resource for language teachers at all levels. Designed for use in the classroom as well as for independent study, the book includes reflective questions, activities, and further reading at the end of each chapter.

English enjoys a preeminent position today among world languages. However, even the large populations that are proficient in the vocabulary and grammar of English are not equally proficient in the pronunciation of the language. This adult population is the target audience of this book. Based on the RP (Received Pronunciation) model - the most widely understood English pronunciation across the world - this systematically organized and lucidly written text covers the entire range from sound to connected speech, i.e., dialogues, anecdotes, passages and short speeches. The book is in two parts: Part I deals with all important aspects of English pronunciation; Part II comprises a pronouncing dictionary. Intended for adult learners of English, the book chiefly aims at remediation, and most of the practice materials and exercises are given with this end in view. Besides, with the help of numerous listening exercises, the course sharpens the learners' ability to comprehend spoken English with ease, thereby training them to face real-life situations (for example, interviews) with confidence and competence.
