Synopsis

The Afrikaans Handbook and Study Guide is a comprehensive reference book and set of notes that covers everything in one book. Covers the basics and fills in the gaps. Practical and user-friendly – simple, visual and logical. Colour-coded for easy understanding, recall and application. All explanations are in English with Afrikaans examples. This book will be an invaluable aid to teachers. It is not meant to be used in isolation, but rather in conjunction with regular lessons and other textbooks. The value is that students will have a comprehensive set of notes, which can be used according to the level being taught. Once taught, each section can simply be revised and updated each year, freeing the teachers from having to research from the beginning. Teachers can teach via themes, and practice all the ‘taal’ structures within each theme, in the knowledge that this handbook can be used as a reference. They can also reasonably expect students to write and speak on various topics, now that the vocabulary is accessible to them. TABLE OF CONTENTS Language; Comprehension; Writing; Literature; Visual Literacy; Oral Communication; Spelling; Vocabulary; Business English; Tasks for Teachers and Learners; Teacher's Guide.

À propos de l'auteur

BERYL LUTRIN is an English teacher with a special interest in Remedial Education. She gained
valuable teaching experience at Crossroads Remedial School in Johannesburg, and has put these
principles into general teaching practice. She believes that in order to be understood, work has to
be presented in a simple, visual and logical manner. She enjoys reducing content and concepts to
their simplest forms. The philosophy of her teaching is that once a student has grasped the basics,
he or she is able to grow and develop from there.
In 1999 Beryl wrote The Afrikaans Handbook and Study Guide™ which has become a best-seller
in South Africa. She wrote the book after finding that her ex-students were using her primary
school notes at high school and even up to matric level. This reinforced that ‘simple is better’.
She realised that content should not be based according to age or school grade, but rather
logically developed, irrespective of these.
Beryl’s love of teaching has influenced many of her students to become teachers. This is one of her
proudest achievements.
