Synopsis

A new classroom course based on unscripted and authentic listening materials

Real Lives, Real Listening will teach students vital skills they need to listen more effectively to English, however it is spoken. Through authentic recordings the course exposes students to the grammatical structures and lexis which are used most frequently in spoken English throughout the world.

This new edition from Collins combines all three topics into one book.

• MP3 CD with authentic interviews featuring native and non-native speakers of English
