Common Sense Advisory’s survey across three continents about online buying behaviour states that 52% of participants only make online purchases if a website presents information in their language, with many considering this more important than the price of the product.2 Supporting this is an analytical report carried out by the European Commission across 27 EU member states regarding purchasing behaviour. Their survey shows that of their respondents, 9 out of 10 internet users3 said that when given a choice of languages, they always visited a website in their own language, with only a small majority (53%) stating that they would accept using an English language site if their own language wasn’t available. This shows the overwhelming need to communicate to audiences in their local languages. As you can see in this chart4 compiled by Statista, although English has the highest number of total speakers due to its widespread learning across the word, other languages such as Chinese and Hindi have a higher number of native speakers.

Desktop Publishing Desktop publishing (usually abbreviated as DTP) is a process for producing printed content by using specialized software to link desktop computers with desktop and other printers. The quality is designed to equal or exceed typeset printing in books. While desktop publishing can include any office or home network that allows you to produce a printable document, DTP usually refers to professional computer-based publishing from expert providers such as Artwork Abode. Desktop publishing software makes it easy to vary typefaces and margins while embedding graphs and illustrations — this feature involving images is especially important in an increasingly visual business world. DTP applications allow users to create and alter page layouts such as a book layout or magazine layout. With DTP, text formatting and typesetting can be accomplished with a click of a computer mouse.

  • Layout a Bid
    Layout a bid Adapted from IACURH Award Resource Guide Layout Overview What is bid layout? The layout of a bid is the organization of information on each page and throughout the bid. Oftentimes, this includes different outlets for displaying text and information, graphical depictions of thematic elements and more. Layout Methods Paragraphs Bulleted Lists Text Boxes Graphics Pictures Backgrounds Why does layout matter? The layout of a bid can be just as important as who or what the bid is written about. The most deserving subject could be buried by a bid with poor layout. Information If information is hard to find or comprehend in depth and at a glance, the bid becomes less effective. This can be taken care of with effective layout methods (bulleted lists, text boxes, etc.). Theme The layout of a bid is the easiest way to incorporate thematic elements (images, wording, attitude, etc.). This will help you better expose the audience to the theme and, as a result, aid them in developing a better understanding of your nominee. Fun & Readability It’s simple; a well laid-out bid is just easier and more fun to read and makes the bidding process exciting. Without being able to read the text, which of the following would you prefer to read? Layout Basics Once you’ve selected your layout software program, it’s time to start thinking about the layout of your bid. The following suggestions will help you to set the foundation for your bid layout: Select Layout the List Topics Storyboard Review Theme Bid 1. Select Theme First, select the theme of your bid if you will be using one.

  • Taking EFL Textbooks Digital ― What, Why and How?
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE Taking EFL Textbooks Digital ― What, Why and How? Maxim WOOLLERTON Summary The future of publishing, including educational publishing, is digital. The transformation has already begun and will likely accelerate because of clear advantages driving this change in the developed world. There are still significant challenges that are hampering this process, however. This paper looks at the motivating factors of the various stakeholders, the technical, commercial and pedagogical challenges, and what options are available for authors and publishers who wish to go digital. Keywords English, EFL, publishing, textbook, digital, conversion, software, hardware 1. Introduction The future of publishing, including educational publishing, is digital. The transformation from paper and ink to software and hardware has already begun. Over the coming years, it is likely that this evolution will continue and perhaps gather pace. There are clear advantages in going digital that are driving this change and some of the barriers that have impeded it are beginning to fall away. It is not necessarily the case everywhere, but at least in the parts of the world where sufficient investment has been made in the telecommunications infrastructure to allow fast Internet data transfers ― 313 ― to occur and where there has been a sufficient development of digital commerce, it is true that digital publishing brings many advantages. Educational publications, especially those to do with language learning, present a more difficult challenge to convert into a digital format than other types, however. This paper will, therefore, first examine the reasons that may motivate stakeholders to support the conversion of educational materials from print to digital format.

A simple tip to help: Write like you talk! Since you’re probably writing to your readers directly, it’s ok to use fairly informal language. This isn’t academic writing. You don’t have to “sound smart” and use big, fancy words. Use simple, straightforward language. Use “you,” “I,” “we” rather than “one,” unless it’s absolutely appropriate. You don’t have to keep a distant, clinical tone. That’s actually a lot more off-putting than if you spoke to your readers like you were having a conversation with them. (That cold, sterile language is pretty hard to slog through no matter the context, anyway.) And there’s no word count or page number you need to meet, so you don’t need to add extra words to drag it out.

The ease of importing images from various sources and then resizing images allows desktop publishing software to produce professional-looking documents without graphic design skills. If you thought that word processing is enough, then you will need to think again.
