Active Listening 1 Student's Book with Self-study Audio CD (Active Listening Second edition)

By Steven Brown and Dorolyn Smith

Book Overview

Active Listening Second edition for adult and young adult learners has task-based units built around a topic, function, or grammatical theme. Student's Book 1 is intended for beginning-level students. The Student's Book offers 16 task-based units, each built around an engaging topic. Through a careful balance of activities, students learn to listen for main ideas, to listen for details, and to listen and make inferences. Prelistening schema-building activities help students build vocabulary, and listen-again activities provide additional skills practice. A full page of optional speaking activities with pronunciation practice is provided in each unit. Expansion units, with authentic student interviews, offer rich cultural material and provide review. A free Self-Study Audio CD is also included in every Student's Book.

Active Listening Book 1

I've been using this book for almost two years and I really like it because it is an excellent source of listening material. The topics are fun and interesting, and the students seem to enjoy the activities and games, as well as the listening assignments.
