Die elfde uitgawe van die Afrikaanse woordelys en spelreëls (AWS) word op 3 Augustus 2017 bekendgestel - 100 jaar nadat Afrikaans vir die eerste keer amptelik met dié standaardnaslaanbron vir spelling en skryfwyse bereël is.
Die 2017-uitgawe, saamgestel deur die Taalkommissie van die Suid-Afrikaanse Akademie vir Wetenskap en Kuns en uitgegee deur NB-Uitgewers onder die Pharos-druknaam, is omvattend herbewerk en sluit talle nuwe woorde in wat die tydsgees en breër Afrikaanse taalgemeenskap weerspieël. Reëls is ook verander en vereenvoudig om Afrikaanse spelling en skryfwyse meer sistematies en dus makliker vir gebruikers te maak.
'Afrikaans is 'n dinamiese taal wat deurlopend ontwikkel en die jongste AWS is 'n opwindende, lewende bewys hiervan,' sê prof. Gerhard van Huyssteen, voorsitter van die Taalkommissie.
Onder die nuwe toevoegings tot die 2017-AWS tel woorde wat te make het met tegnologiese ontwikkelinge, soos googleloer, hommeltuig, meem, warsender, antispioenware, selfie en skermgreep; woorde wat ontwikkelinge in die samelewing sedert die verskyning van die vorige AWS agt jaar gelede weerspieël, soos bewarea, BRICS-land of Bricsland, bystanddood en hidrobreking; en leenwoorde of nuutskeppings waarvoor daar nie Afrikaanse woorde is nie, soos brownie, Chanoeka, muffin, nurk (die geluid wat seekoeie maak), venue en flop. Heelwat nuwe woorde uit Afrikaans se gebruiksvariëteite soos Kaapse Afrikaans en Oranjerivierafrikaans is ook opgeneem, byvoorbeeld antie, dhaltjie, gangster en poenankies (oulik).
Wat spelling en skryfwyse betref, is reëls wat verander onder meer dat afstandsamestellings voortaan slegs mét 'n koppelteken geskryf word (hoof- uitvoerende beampte, reuse- politieke vergadering), en dat die integriteit van multiwoordeiename in samestellings en afleidings behou word (Derde Wêreldse in plaas van Derdewêreldse; Konstitusionele Hof-regter of Konstitusionele Hofregter in plaas van Konstitusionelehofregter).
Nuwighede sluit in 'n hoofstuk oor leestekengebruik in Afrikaans, die bereëling van trappe van vergelyking, 'n lys Oosterse plekname, landname met geldeenhede en ISO-kodes, en die Afrikaanse name van elemente in die periodieke tabel. Skryfhulp word ook nou vir die SI-stelsel verskaf.

Vir meer as 40 jaar al is die Beknopte Verklarende Woordeboek 'n staatmaker in die Afrikaanse klas, huis en kantoor. Met sy 30 000 inskrywings en bondige verklarings was hierdie buksie steeds enig in sy soort.
Vir die neënde uitgawe pryk die Beknop nou in sy sprankelende nuwe Pharos-baadjie. Boonop het hy 'n bylaag bygekry met meer as 1000 nuwe Afrikaanse woorde en woorde wat nog nie voorheen in die Beknop of sy ouboet, die Verklarende Afrikaanse Woordeboek, opgeneem is nie.

Die PHAROS BEKNOPTE VERKLARENDE WOORDEBOEK bou voort op 'n tradisie van betroubare naslaanwerke en is 'n staatmaker in die Afrikaanse klas, huis en kantoor. Dié gebruikersvriendelike woordeboek is kompak dog omvattend: dit bevat meer as 30 000 woorde en terme met bondige verklarings.

This edition of finding your way in academic writing, the authors focused on the theme of writing as thinking. The authors focus on a new theme: 'applying knowledge to writing performance'. This shift introduces readers to the notion of applying knowledge sourced from literature, as well as knowledge sourced from data in field research. Therefore, this title is new in a number of ways. In this edition the organising construct is the application of knowledge, field research writing is introduced, and field research writing is integrated with literature research writing.

At some point or other in their academic careers, most tertiary-level students will become engaged in the planning and execution of research projects. It is a fundamental part of further education that many students find daunting, which need not be the case. First steps in research use the most current perspectives in the field both locally and internationally to provide theoretical and practical guidelines on how to conduct and report on research at undergraduate and postgraduate level.
First steps in research bring together the views of academics, theorists, researchers, and practitioners. It presents perspectives and theory on how to facilitate the understanding and application of theories, goals, methods, and strategies. The book is easy to read and use without diluting the conceptual and terminological complexities of the field. It examines the historical and philosophical underpinnings of qualitative, quantitative, and integrative (integrated) or mixed methods of conducting research, and suggests how these three approaches may be used most appropriately. It also elaborates on the methodological dimensions of action research processes and exemplifies participatory reflection.

The development of an enabling and socially just learning environment in schools does not relate only to teaching and learning but also to assessment of and for learning. Of particular importance is the provision of assessment opportunities for learners with physical, sensory and neurological disabilities or specific learning difficulties. Guidelines for assessment adaptation focuses on assessment adaptations and methods of assessment (special concessions) for learners who experience reading and writing difficulties that prevent them from giving a true reflection of their acquired knowledge and skills in classroom tests and examinations. Guidelines for assessment adaptation provides a general and useful framework for assessment in an inclusive environment. It discusses the support of learners with language and other difficulties and gives specific techniques for adapting assessments to assist them. Contents include the following: Principles of assessment; Specific learning difficulties; Curriculum adaptation; Identifying barriers to assessment; Description of assessment adaptations; Administrative procedures for assessment adaptations. Guidelines for assessment adaptation is aimed at all educators facing the challenge of assessing learners with disabilities and learning difficulties fairly.
