Advancing Oral Skills

Orals skills constitute perhaps the most important skill for life in language learning.

This book deals with how to develop confident speakers, who have something to say in the exacting timescale which AS imposes, building on good practice at GCSE.

Advanced study demands near fluency and implies a whole repertoire of different oral skills, from giving presentations to interpreting, from agreeing to contradicting. "Advancing oral skills" presents practical ideas for activities and approaches and provides useful pointers for the new style of AS and A level examinations.

Student checklists are provided.
