Each book in this series contains 40 units divided into eight themes. Each unit is comprised of five exercises based on a single listening text, which may be a dialog, monolog or continuous prose.
By focusing learners’ attention on text transcription, Listening Practice through Dictation encourages learners to notice and improve spelling, vocabulary, sentence structure, cohesive devices used in speaking and writing, and punctuation, apart from providing invaluable exposure to audio-recorded language of native English speakers.
The progression of grammar, vocabulary, passage length, and complexity is controlled from one book to the next in order to give learners an effective and rewarding stage-by-stage language learning experience.
Features
● Introduction including teaching tips by Mario Rinvolucri
● Full-color photos
● New words introduced at the beginning of each unit
● Listening transcription activities that integrate reading and writing
● Audio recording of dictation texts
● Complete answer keys and dictation text transcripts
