The letter from Abacus Publishing's Managing Editor Harry Damus clarifies the rationale behind including selections from various geographical literary sources in their English proficiency book series. Each book in the series focuses on a particular type of literature but also includes related selections from other non-focal geographical sources to demonstrate the concept of intertextuality, or the relationship between texts. Dr. Cores of Our Lady of Help School is thanked for her consideration.

Dear Dr. Cores: Salutation

Each book in a series uses the integration of literature and language in the teaching of English
proficiency. Although each focused on a particular type of literature (Philippine Literature for first year,
Asian-African Literature for second year, British-selections outside each particular geographical literary
source were used. Body of
This is in accordance with the concept of intertextuality of the relationship between texts. This means Letter
that one selection, let’s say Philippine Literature, is realated to another selection from a non-Philippine
Literature text (America and European Literature).
