Describing usefulness of this annotated bibliography
to the target audience and how it will promote this aspect of literature to
chosen audience
(a) Relevance
of items included and why
My title is Southeast
Asian Short Stories. There are eleven countries in this Southeast Asia. They
are Myanmar, Lao, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore,
East Timor, Philippine, and Brunei. So, I choose the subject terms based on
eleven countries. Every country has their own stories with their own languages.
But every story is not translated into English from their languages.
By this title,
South-East Asia adult migrants in Australia are targeted. In this Fairfield
area, South-East Asian community is the second largest community and they are
generally migrants. Of them, it includes not only skilled but also non-skilled
migrants. The books that I have already searched, will give the difference
knowledge for the skilled migrants and non-skilled migrants can learn the
English Language through South-East Asian cultures. South-East Asians Short Stories will also be
interested in the adult migrants from other communities. Therefore, this title
is chosen.
