Author Yong S Lee’s New Book, “Mastering English Rhetoric: A Practical Guide for Non-native Speakers,” is an Essential Handbook to Help Readers Master English Rhetoric
Summary
San Diego, CA, July 24, 2024 --( PR.com )-- Yong S Lee, a professor emeritus of political science at Iowa State University, teaching the constitutional and ethical requirements of a public servant in a democracy, has completed his new book, “Mastering English Rhetoric: A Practical Guide for Non-native Speakers”: a groundbreaking resource for non-native English speakers that offers a transformative approach to understanding and applying English rhetoric, empowering readers to communicate effectively and persuasively in both everyday interactions and public discourse.Upon retirement, author Yong S Lee served for many years as director of the English program at the KDI Graduate School in Korea—an OECD training center for public servants in developing nations, teaching leadership and ethics, innovating the rhetoric of argumentative writing, and publishing “The Making of an Argument”. Much of this conundrum emanates from the inconvenient truth that they have not yet crossed the bridge to the world of English rhetoric: the way in which the natives often use words—nonliterally or figuratively—in everyday life and in public discourse, which of course is not unique to the English language.“This handbook takes a giant step to cross that bridge by introducing over two hundred rhetorical tools and norms of communication, which are deeply rooted in culture. These tools are elucidated with mesmerizing stories behind—such as ‘The writing on the wall’ meaning a big trouble ahead or ‘Why are you eating your heart out?’ teasing why you are so depressed.”Published by Page Publishing, Yong S Lee’s guidebook will help readers build fluency and cultural competence, ultimately helping non-native speakers feel more at ease and proficient in English communication.
