Mr. S.A. Kularathne has written a user's guide to Nihal de Silva's novel, "The Road From Elephant Pass," prescribed for GCE (A/L) English. Unlike typical guides, this one encourages active learner involvement and promotes creative thinking. Task-based learning and learner autonomy are emphasized in the guide, reflecting the author's experience in English Language Teaching. It aims to develop higher-order reading and writing skills required for Advanced Level literature study. The guide provides enriching self-access learning materials that help learners analyze various genres. The efforts of Mr. Kularathne are appreciated, and wishes for his future endeavors are extended by K.L.M. Premachandra, a retired Deputy Director of Education, English & Foreign Language Branch at the Ministry of Education.
