Purchasing books to read is often as much an emotional decision as an intellectual one. This site provides a means for authors, publishers, book sellers and the book loving reader to find others who share their passion. Reading a book can be a similar experience to going to a film or a play or playing some music. It is always good to talk about and compare our responses with others and this site is set up to help with this process.

The books business today is more than ever about being willing to enter into a dialog. Publishers, booksellers and writers are now beginning to recognize this truth. How else would William P. Young’s novel “The Shack” have found itself on many best-seller lists without requiring any advertising?

Recommendations sell books and those in the book trade who can adapt and open themselves up to scrutiny on sites like this will be the long-term winners. No longer can writers rely on critics in ivory towers as their arbiters of quality. We now all want to express our views about which books merit our attention and which writers deserve our valuable time.

Articles and comments published on Books Buyer can now find their way directly to potential purchasers. Moreover, you can generate passion as well as intellectual scrutiny here just by talking about a particular book product. The site is structured so that each article can be filed in an appropriate category and with relevant tags so that readers searching under those particular categories may well be directed to your article and subsequently to your web site, or to their local bookstore for the book in question.

These are exciting times for the book trade and for readers alike and we look forward to facilitating open ended discussion here at Books Buyer. Click Here to get started.

Turning the English Language Upside Down - Teacher’s global experience leads to revolutionary new method for teaching ESL students

September 28th, 2008

MINNEAPOLIS – While working in countries as distant as China to teach English as a second language (ESL) to some of the estimated one billion people trying to learn it, Carolyn Judith Akinyi developed what is being considered a revolutionary new approach to ESL training and teaching.

Her new book “English From A to Z: Everything You’ll Ever Need To Know About Speaking And Writing The Language,” (ISBN 978-1438207360, $14.95) and its accompanying CD (ASIN B0018SJ5A4, $14.95) of the same name offer a vast departure from the traditional ways of teaching ESL strictly through rote memorization.

“I saw that the memorization method made it difficult for the students to hold a conversation without reading or repeating memorized dialogue verbatim,” says Akinyi, a veteran ESL educator with college degrees in Education and Human Services. “I found that a much more successful method was teaching students to build their communication skills through interactive vocabulary, listening and speaking sessions.”

Using that concept as her inspiration, Akinyi crafted “English From A To Z,” which is laid out in a reader-friendly format and stocked with easy-to-follow speaking sessions and vocabulary exercises that help students learn the language and improve their word power as they progress.

The book, which Akinyi self-published this spring, was met with great interest from publishers and literary agents this spring at the annual BookExpo America, and Akinyi has also found enthusiastic audiences when sharing “English From A To Z” with educators in Minneapolis/St. Paul, where she lives and works.

“I really believe this is a book that will revolutionize the way people learn English,” she says. “We’re already seeing the results.”

Of the estimated one billion people globally who are attempting to learn English, 375 million are doing so because they live in a country where English is the primary language – such as the United States – according to a 2000 study by the British Council. Nearly 600 million more people living in foreign countries attempt to learn English for business or pleasure purposes.

“The audience is certainly out there, especially in the United States,” Akinyi says. “I’ve been all over the world, but now – more than ever – people new to America want to get up to speed on English as fast as possible. Because my book goes in such a different direction than what’s traditionally been done in the past, I’m already seeing the students responding in a great manner and demand for this project.”
