<p><strong>The Complete Listening-Speaking Course: Student Centered, Teacher Guided</strong><br /><em>David Christiansen</em></p> <p>This major opus covers the semester, with emphasis on student centered activities guided by the teacher. A strong feature, Pronunciation Practice, includes minimal pairs, intonation patterns, word reduction and linking words, word stress, word endings. Over four hours of listening practice offer English as spoken casually among educated Americans. The social and academic themes of interest to intermediate to advanced students are stimulating and witty.</p> <p>Students read and discuss a central issue in each chapter. It is usually expressed in the form of someone asking advice: What do you do when in a strange new country suffering culture shock? How does one interpret body language and gestures?
