Energize your ears with this exciting three-level listening course in North American English! The engaging, task-based 20 units in each book are built around a topic, function, or grammatical theme such as alternative health techniques, environmental issues, and creating poetry. Each vividly colored unit begins with a warming up activity followed by 2 one-page listening tasks which carry out the theme. The units "activate" students' knowledge of a topic before they listen and provide a careful balance of activities including listening for gist, listening for specific information, and making references.
