Conversations, announcements, music, television, radio we're surrounded by sounds, and so is this stimulating listening book! The book covers a wide array of topics "interacting with neighbors, returning to school, shopping at the supermarket, responding to a traffic accident, making job decisions" embedded in an engaging central storyline. The characters and topics that appear in the narrative reappear in the exercises, conversations, and group tasks, creating internal coherence and stimulating students' interest and empathy, crucial aspects of successful listening! Activities run the gamut from listening comprehension to listening discrimination exercises, and final tasks encourage students to experiment with conversational language. New features of the second edition include prelistening exercises, a pronunciation section, and fully updated topics. Tapescripts are included in the student book.
