Active Listening: Expanding Understanding through Content, is the highest level of the Active Listening series, a three-level listening course in North American English that draws on recent research in comprehension. This intermediate to high-intermediate text offers twenty engaging, task-based units, each built around a topic, function, or grammatical theme. Active Listening activates students` knowledge of a topic before they listen, giving them a frame of reference to make predictions about what they will hear. At this level, students learn to listen through a careful balance of activities that make use of real information from a variety of sources to promote understanding. Major features:-- A "Before You Begin" unit to develop awareness of listening strategies-- Prelistening schema-building activities-- A carefully balanced variety of listening tasks-- Natural recordings with a range of accents-- Short readings to provide cross-cultural information-- A speaking activity in every unit. Each level of Active Listening consists of a Student`s Book, an interleaved Teacher`s Edition, and two Cassettes. ISBN - 9780521398831
