About this title

Synopsis:

Tactics for Listening Third Edition is a practical three level listening skills course for upper secondary, college and university students. You can use it independently, or alongside other skills courses.

Packed full of listening activities on every page, the course provides practice in conversation and listening across a wide range of subjects and situations.

High-interest topics use practical, everyday language and lots of manageable listening tasks to engage students and keep them motivated.

Each unit outlines specific listening skills, and pronunciation and conversation topics, within the context of a topical subject.

Short, manageable chunks make for easy teaching – and easy learning.

Task-based activities in the Tactics for Testing sections provide practice in test-taking techniques, related to several units.

The Teacher’s Testing Program and Resource CD-ROM supplements your teaching with unit quizzes and worksheets. These further develop students’ confidence and their listening and exam techniques.

For students, access to downloadable audio MP3 files, from the new Audio Download Center, encourages study ‘on the go’ and supplements their out of class learning.

You and your students can keep track of vocabulary development with the new vocabulary index.

Listed by unit, it provides a useful tool for exam preparation and testing.
