Présentation de l'éditeur

Webster's paperbacks take advantage of the fact that classics are frequently assigned readings in English courses. By using a running English-to-Basque thesaurus at the bottom of each page, this edition of The Iliad by Homer was edited for three audiences. The first includes Basque-speaking students enrolled in an English Language Program (ELP), an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) program, an English as a Second Language Program (ESL), or in a TOEFL or TOEIC preparation program. The second audience includes English-speaking students enrolled in bilingual education programs or Basque speakers enrolled in English-speaking schools. The third audience consists of students who are actively building their vocabularies in Basque in order to take foreign service, translation certification, Advanced Placement (AP) or similar examinations. By using the Webster's Basque Thesaurus Edition when assigned for an English course, the reader can enrich their vocabulary in anticipation of an examination in Basque or English.
