BOOK REVIEW

AUTHOR              : John Eastwood
TITLE                  : Oxford Guide to English Grammar

Oxford Guide to English Grammar is a book with mini size, or we can say Pocket Oxford Guide to English Grammar, his size is same with Pocket Oxford Dictionary.  
This book is a systematic account of grammatical forms and the way they are used in standard British English today. The emphasis is on meanings and how they govern the choice of grammatical pattern. The book is thorough in its coverage but pays most attention to points that are of importance to intermediate and advanced learners of English, and to their teachers. It will be found equally suitable for quick reference to details and for the more leisured study of broad grammar topics.
A useful feature of the book is the inclusion of example texts and conversations, many of them authentic, to show how grammar is used in connected writing and in speech.
This book is very useful and helping us for studying and improving our grammatical language and be a good writer, and in the end I recommended you to read this book and become a good speaker and writer specially.

However, educators who share one of these distinct sets of beliefs about the nature of reality presently apply each of these world philosophies in successful classrooms. Let us explore each of the...

THE NOTION OF MURABBI IN ISLAM: AN ISLAMIC CRITIQUE OF TRENDS IN CONTEMPORARY EDUCATION By: Prof. Yedullah Kazmi The purpose of the article is an attempt at an ontological understanding of the notion of murabbi from an Islamic perspective.  Ontological means the possibilities that have not been realized but which have been forgotten and buried i.e. not just listing the attributes of Murabbi but what it means with respect to education and learning.  Then a critique of modern education is made in reference to the murabbi . Argues the need for the murabbi in education especially for the personalized knowledge in addition to the theoretical knowledge, which is the function of the murabbi . Murabbi teach personal knowledge through his style of life, because his life is text. Thus, a murabbi puts theories into practices.
