Real Talk 2, by Lida Baker and Judith Tanka, helps teachers transport high-intermediate to advanced students out of the language classroom and into the world of authentic English.

• Clear explanations and activities to teach natural use of intonation, stress, reductions, thought groups, and difficult-to-pronounce sounds
• Structured and graduated note-taking activities that prepare students for university and college-level lectures
• Recorded speakers with a variety of accents, both native and nonnative
