Active listening2 (2nd ed)

Active Listening, Second edition is grounded in the theory that learners are more successful listeners when they activate their prior knowledge of a topic.

Through a careful balance of activities, students learn to listen for main ideas, to listen for details, to listen and make inferences - and finally to progress from listening to personalized speaking.

Student's Book 2 is intended for low-intermediate to intermediate students.

The Student's Book offers 16 task-based units, each built around an engaging topic.

Through a careful balance of activities, students learn to listen for main ideas, to listen for details and to listen and make inferences.

Prelistening schema-building activities help students build vocabulary, and listen-again activities provide additional skills practice.

A full page of optional speaking activities with pronunciation practice is provided in each unit.

Expansion units, with authentic student interviews, offer rich cultural material and provide review.

A free self-study audio CD is also included in every student's book.
