Synopsis

Webster's paperbacks take advantage of the fact that classics are frequently assigned readings in English courses. By using a running English-to-Albanian thesaurus at the bottom of each page, this edition of Hard Times by Charles Dickens was edited for three audiences. The first includes Albanian-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 Albanian speakers enrolled in English-speaking schools. The third audience consists of students who are actively building their vocabularies in Albanian in order to take foreign service, translation certification, Advanced Placement (AP) or similar examinations. By using the Webster's Albanian Thesaurus Edition when assigned for an English course, the reader can enrich their vocabulary in anticipation of an examination in Albanian or English.

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.:

Webster’s edition of this classic is organized to expose the reader to a maximum number of difficult and potentially ambiguous English words. Rare or idiosyncratic words and expressions are given lower priority compared to "difficult, yet commonly used" words. Rather than supply a single translation, many words are translated for a variety of meanings in French, allowing readers to better grasp the ambiguity of English, and avoid them using the notes as a pure translation crutch. Having the reader decipher a word’s meaning within context serves to improve vocabulary retention and understanding. Each page covers words not already highlighted on previous pages. If a difficult word is not translated on a page, chances are that it has been translated on a previous page.
