Richards Jack C. Listen Carefully. Listening Practice for Elementary Students (Students' Book, CD 1)

Oxford University Press 1990, ISBN: 0194572804 Listen carefully provides elementary students with systematic and thorough practice in mini-listening skills. 15 topic-based units cover a wide variety of everyday contexts including shopping, eating out, travel, health, and following instructions.
Each unit is divided into sections containing activities which focus on one area of the topic. The activities are graded to guide students from recognition of single sounds to interring meaning in conversations. Identification of syllable and word stress is introduced and students are also given practice in pronunciation of typical problem areas, for example, numbers and dates.
Listen carefully is suitable for both classroom use and students studying on their own. Teacher's notes and a self-study guide are included, in addition to the key and the transcript of the recordings.
