A series of authentic recordings, all based on real life language, that can be used by students to test and practise their listening skills. Each volume contains diverse audio tracks (eg. family discussions, radio interviews, telephone conversations, formal discussions) of varying difficulty, to expose students to a wide range of vocabulary and grammatical structures particularly associated with the spoken language. Each track is followed by several stimulating activities devoted to language comprehension and analysis. The transcritps and answers to the exercises can be found at the back of the book, making this series ideal for classroom use and independent learners.
