Functional School Certificate English Lexis and Structure for SSS

English Language is arguably the most crucial school subject in our institutions. It is the key to the mastery of other subjects at the School Certificate level and its mastery is a sine qua non to good performance in other subjects. Yet, it is the most problematic stumbling block against students’ success in certificate examinations. The cause is in students’ poor mastery of the rubrics of the language.
Every language has its rubrics of how words are formed, the classes to which they belong, and how they are used under different circumstances. To perform well in the language, either in its oral or written forms, it is essential to understand these rubrics.
Most students fail English Language examinations because they lack mastery of these rubrics. And this is where this book comes in handy.
This is a book that dissects the very fabrics of the language for greater understanding. The authors spell out the meanings of lexis, registers, collocations, figurative expressions, idioms, the forms and the uses of structural items, the positions and the order of adjectives, intensifiers, auxiliary verbs, prepositions, etc. All these are carefully and meticulously treated in Part One. In Part Two are several tests designed to reflect those presented in the School Certificate examinations [WAEC, NECO, and other similar public examination bodies]. That is why the authors can guarantee perfect performance in any of these examinations if students can take the pains to master the steps spelt out in this book.
The authors are seasoned language experts with years of experience in the study and teaching of the language both at the secondary and the tertiary levels.
