The two-part book for first year engineering students has been published as a single book for
the new edition and is part of the prescribed syllabus for students at the University and
affiliated colleges.
Speakers said that the book represented Anna University's early concern for improving the
communication skills of its students. "The book recognises students as having views and
opinions of their own and not as locked into a system with no choices," said Usha Aroor,
director, Orient Longman, "It provides a student-centred skill based approach to learning
language."
The presentation was flexible to adapt to different levels of learner knowledge, said
Premalatha Rajan, head, department of Humanities and Social Sciences, Anna University.
