/24-7PressRelease/ - HONOLULU, HI, May 03, 2007 - Erick Hoffer Book Awards honor noted philosopher, educator and 1983 Presidential Medial of Freedom awardee Eric Hoffer.
According to Best New Writing 2007, "English is the most powerful language in the world, and there is no place better to learn it than the United States. In clear and accessible language, Janik and Weaver provide a comprehensive approach to selecting an English language school and location, based on a number of practical and a few overlooked factors. The latter portions include approaches in several languages [English, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Spanish and German all in one book]..."
Each language section includes a chapter about studying English in the United States and another about selecting the right set of questions for students to ask schools.
Following chapters include questions to ask on school academic quality; regional differences; physical campus features and facilities; as well as food, accommodations and expenses. Useful Internet links are included.
"The book was written for both international and domestic students," say the authors.
Each year, The Eric Hoffer Book Award (formerly The Writers' Notes Book Award) recognizes independent publishing from academic, small and micro presses, as well as self-published authors across eleven categories covering the entire publishing spectrum.
Janik currently teaches English and English as a Second Language at Intercultural Communications College in Honolulu, Hawaii, in association with Upper Iowa University, Fayette, Iowa. He also teaches English at Hawaii Pacific University and Psychology at Argosy University Hawaii. Weaver is Director of Intercultural Communications College and an Adjunct Instructor of ESL courses for the Hawaii Department of Education, as well as past-chair of Hawaii NAFSA and a lecturer on Intercultural Communications with that body of International Educators.
