Skeul an Tavas – a Language Ladder coursebook published by Agan Tavas and Evertype
Agan Tavas and Evertype are pleased to jointly announce the publication of Skeul an Tavas, a coursebook by Ray Chubb designed to meet the needs of those learning under the structure of the Languages Ladder programme of the UK Department for Children, Schools and Families. Unlike some other coursebooks, this book teaches Cornish in a "can-do" way, and does not expect students to know the finer points of Cornish grammar from the beginning. The course starts with the basics—all presented in a friendly and accessible way.
This book is aimed at the Breakthrough level of the Languages Ladder. This consists of three stages and Skeul an Tavas is divided into three parts, each corresponding to one of those stages. The book is intended for internal teacher assessment in the stages leading to Breakthrough, but the whole syllabus required by a student to take the external assessment at Breakthrough level is covered in this book.
The book contains many practical examples of natural Cornish. Students can practise adding to what they have learned by constructing further examples with the use of a dictionary. Skeul an Tavas contains a complete glossary of all the Cornish words in the book. The illustrations will help students to learn the meaning of many Cornish words without reference to English. Skeul an Tavas will help any student to acquire Cornish as a spoken language for everyday use.
The course is available in three orthographies. Agan Tavas has published two of the books. The first of these employs the Traditional Graphs recommended for writers who wish to use more historically-based spelling. The second employs the "Main Graphs" orthography, which may be more familiar to class teachers who have previously used Common Cornish. The third volume, published by Evertype (Cathair na Mart, Ireland), uses Standard Cornish ("Kernowek Standard" or "KS") spelling, which is a development of the Cornish Language Partnership’s "Standard Written Form", correcting a number of identified problems. Kernowek Standard is more logical, simpler, and easier to learn, and is closer to the forms of the historical language.
Copies may be obtained from Amazon.co.uk, from Amazon.com, or from Spyrys a Gernow, shoppa @ spyrys.org. See http://www.evertype.com/books/…..tavas.html

Excellent, I'll be getting one.
I am a bit concerned with calling KS "Standard Cornish", and the confusion it might create, as it isn't a standard.

Feel free to get more than one…  You may find it interesting to compare the sections on pronunciation.
Kernewek Unyes 'Unified Cornish'
Kernewek Kemmyn 'Common Cornish'
Kernowek Standard 'Standard Cornish'
We have been using this name for nearly three years—well before the SWF was conceived. The word "standard" can be applied to a variety of a spoken or written language which can be considered to be correct and acceptable form. That is why we use the term, and we do not apologize for it.
We're not responsible for the "confusion", either. Until very late in the process, SWF meant "Single Written Form".

Not really, Truru. We didn't create the confusion. 'Kernowek Standard – Standard Cornish' was its name since its inception, this being before ever the SWF process began. In fact, it was one of the submissions to the Commissioners. The compromise form was to be "Single Written Form' but, after the AHG meetings, this was changed to 'Standard Written Form". It was really for MAGA to avoid confusion, knowing full well that Kernowek Standard existed. There was certainly no cause for us to change that original name, and we didn't.

I know that KS existed before the SWF changed its name, but isn't continuing to use the word "standard" only inviting confusion, especially after the publicity surrounding the standard written form? People who become interested in Cornish post-SWF and don't know about the different orthographies might see "Standard Written Form" and "Standard Cornish" and think they're the same.
Even though KS arrived first, some people might see the continued usage of the word "standard", after the SWF arrived, as being intentionally misleading. I'm not trying to have a pop at you, just voicing my concerns.

It wasn't for us to change. It was for the CLP to have avoided any confusion. As Craig has pointed out, they knew full well that Kernowek Standard existed.
Kernowek Standard—Standard Cornish—is a variety of written language which we consider to be a correct and acceptable form. The word "standard" applies to it because of its accuracy and inclusivity—no ghettoization of Late Cornish forms, for instance.
I do hope that you are interested enough to compare Skeul an Tavas in both its SWF/T and KS forms. You will find the differences most illuminating.

If it's misleading, then it's MAGA that is misleading you. Why should we change a name that existed long before MAGA adopted the word? It was for them to select another word and avoid the confusion. It was their responsibility to do so, not ours.
I any case, I hope you like the books. They do rather answer the recent criticism that we (Agan Tavas) weren't doing anything (although I did drop several hints). Now, here are the very first (and only) course books in the SWF (and KS), courtesy of Agan Tavas, and Evertype. I did have the privilege of seeing the pre-publication draft and I can tell you that it is a very good course indeed. Easy to follow (which isn't always the case). And AFFORDABLE. Well done to Ray, and to Nigel. And to Michael.

Let's only hope it is published and printed in Cornwall, to please the Nationalists on this forum.

It was written in Cornwall, by a Cornishman and Cornish speaker who brought his two sons up to speak Cornish, and that should be good enough for anyone.
