The B.Tech Communicative English syllabus has been closely followed, with detailed sections on grammar, writing and comprehension. The chapters on vocabulary take an insightful look at etymology, word origins, synonymy and antonymy. Detailed word lists and practice exercises make the section extremely helpful for practicing teachers. The sections on grammar are fairly detailed, offering a thorough analysis of Verbs, Tenses, Voice, Narration, Transformation of Sentences and Error Correction. There are plenty of practice exercises for the teacher to choose from. Reading skills are well discussed and technical writing is given all the importance and predominance it usually occupies in any course on technical communication. The section on report writing is extremely useful as a guide for teachers for teaching students the formatting and writing essentials in documenting reports. There is a section on professional speaking too, which enriches the content of the book. On the whole, the book is of continuing usefulness and relevance in any technical English course and will be used by teachers and students alike for many years to come." - Dr Indrajit Bose Assistant Professor of English, GNIT, Kolkata "Dr. Konar's book acts as a comprehensive guide to the students of professional, technical as well as basic courses to hone their language skills. The language of the book is persuasive, fluid and student-friendly which makes it useful even to the first generation learners of English. The scope of this book extends from word-building to report writing and covers almost all the thrust areas of language training in a nutshell. Hence, it deserves a shelf-space in the library of any institution." - Ayushman Banerjee, Assistant Professor in English, Haldia Government College, Kolkata "This is one of the best books on 'Communication' available in the market. Dr. Nira Konar is a brand by herself whenever English Language Teaching (ELT) comes into discussion. This compact edition discusses in detail the various aspects of language ranging from Vocabulary, Grammar, Syntax to effective communication in business. The book gives a clear reading of LSRW skills such as writing, reading, listening, and public speaking. It further confers different means of effective communication, situational dialogues, body language, and group discussions. The book follows the present MAKAUT curriculum of English for B.Tech 1st year 2nd Semester (HM-HU 201 & HM-HU 291) thoroughly. It not only gives an overview of the Theory syllabus but also provides details of Language Laboratory activities as well. “Communication Skills for Professionals” enables the readers to express themselves clearly and communicate effectively at the workplace. This book not only deals with the rudiments of communication but also gives insights into the body language and provides important tips on how to be successful at interviews and group discussions. Primarily intended for students of engineering and technology, the book will also be useful for Management students and the students of all disciplines who want to acquire the skill in corporate communication and excel in their respective professional areas." - Sohini Datta Assistant Professor, Department of Management, IEM, Sector V, Salt Lake, Kolkata "Easy and in-depth writing on the subject is the aim of this book. The author has put in here the fruits of teaching the students from the wide-ranging and first-hand knowledge of business speaking and writing, and listening in a friendly way. It is enriched with extensive references. On every page of the book the students will see how a simpler style of English is balanced with their need." - Dalia Sen Assistant Professor, Bengal Institute of Technology (Under Techno India Group), Kolkata
