Acquisition of 2nd Writing System

This book is concerned with writing systems in a multi-cultural context. The field of English as a second language is well researched and documented, but the equally important subject of how to acquire the Latin alphabet as a second writing system, or how to alter from any particular writing system to another, has seldom been considered. An analytical approach to this subject is provided, starting with a system for comparing the rules of writing systems and leading to practical help for teachers and students. Examples of many of the world's writing systems are used to pinpoint areas of possible difficulty, and the subject is expanded to cross-cultural typography and computers.Sassoon, Rosemary is the author of 'Acquisition of 2nd Writing System ', published 1995 under ISBN 9781871516432 and ISBN 1871516439.
