"Purposive Communication introduces students to the intricacy and dynamism of communication in various contexts. It is designed to improve the communicative competence of the students by inculcating in them the cultural and intercultural awareness necessary in communication especially in this age of globalization. It attempts to move away from a purely structure-focused linguistic instruction to a more social- and culture-oriented discussion of lessons. This material is equipped with assessment tools to reinforce the learning experience of the students." -- Back cover.
