Webster's paperbacks take advantage of the fact that classics are frequently assigned readings in English courses. By using a running English-to-Persian (Farsi) thesaurus at the bottom of each page, this edition of A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce was edited for three audiences. The first includes Persian (Farsi)-speaking students enrolled in an English Language Program (ELP), an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) program, an English as a Second Language Program (ESL), or in a TOEFL� or TOEIC� preparation program. The second audience includes English-speaking students enrolled in bilingual education programs or Persian (Farsi) speakers enrolled in English-speaking schools. The third audience consists of students who are actively building their vocabularies in Persian (Farsi) in order to take foreign service, translation certification, Advanced Placement� (AP�) or similar examinations.
