The Polyglot logo “Peace
through mutual understanding” is reflected in this
little book about Dubai, written by Diana and Mohammad
Al Mawed as part of a national curriculum reading
project for British and world-wide schools, commissioned
by the educational publishing company,
Longman.
The authors felt
that it would provide a good opportunity to promote
awareness amongst schoolchildren around the world about
Dubai, its culture and its people. They chose the girls’
school in al Khawaneej to represent a school in a desert
location and the book looks at the life and customs of
the children at that school, and at how they are
affected by their geographical location.
The book contains
material at three different reading levels for children
aged 7 – 11, and provides useful reading practice for
both native speakers and learners of
English.
Available at
Magrudy’s Bookshop and at the Polyglot Language
Institute. |
