Introduction to the Student
This series will help you become more confident about the
listening you do both inside and outside the classroom.

With these books you will:
•

learn to listen appropriately

•

learn to understand correctly

•

learn to make more sense of what you hear.

You will hear a variety of sources such as conversations,
messages, radio broadcasts, and other forms of real English,
and you will learn to listen both for detail, and for the general
meanmg.

As students you want to feel confident in real-life situations
when you are speaking English. Through this series you will
hear what real English speakers say in everyday situations,
such as meeting strangers or planning a celebration, and
learn to understand the words they use.

This series prepares you to react appropriately to the people
you meet by helping you to make sense of the meaning behind
the words they use. You will learn about the influences of a
speaker's mood, location, and background on the language she
or he uses.
You will gain confidence in listening and responding to
everyday situations in English. You'll be able to react to the
personalities of the people you meet, understand the words
they use, and make sense of what you hear.

Introduction to the Teacher
This three-book listening series helps make every minute of
the classroom experience as rich as the real world. The topics,
the activities, the personalities, the beliefs, and the accents
reflect the variety in the world around us. In the series,

students meet different people, discuss different things, have
different attitudes, and have different reactions.
To make the listening experience as authentic as possible, the
series presents listening challenges from a variety of sources:
dialogs, recorded messages, monologues, radio broadcasts,
reviews, public service announcements, and weather
announcements.

In these books students tackle real-world tasks that prepare
them for the kind of listening they will do outside the
classroom: listening for different purposes, making inferences,
personalizing the experience, and making assumptions and
predictions.
Students need to be actively involved in the process of
learning to listen and listening to learn, because it makes
learning much more effective. This is achieved by asking them
to listen for a purpose, read the clues about speakers' mood,
intention and background, and making students aware of the
process they use in their own native language to make
linguistic input comprehensible.

Students wish to react and express themselves appropriately
in real-life situations. For that reason, all three books show
how people react and cope in everyday situations- and they
do so in a way that shows their personality, character, and
attitude. By listening to, observing, and judging people in
these contexts, students will learn that they too are able to
express their personality when they speak English- a major
step in becoming proficient in English.
