Task Listening aims to develop the listening skills of students who have had little exposure to authentic spoken English. It is suitable for lower-intermediate and also more advanced students whose listening has been developed primarily as a means to a grammatical or structural end. Each of the twenty-six units consists of a short tape recording and related tasks. The recordings are of people speaking at normal speed in everyday situations. Each unit has as its theme a setting or situation in which listening plays a major part, for example, at an airport listening for flight announcements or at a travel agency being told about different means of transport. In each case, having completed the necessary language work, students listen to the tape and extract the information necessary to complete a simple task, such as labelling a picture or filling in a grid. Related reading and writing tasks are provided as a follow-up to each listening task. Task Listening aims to help students to sift out utterances of relevance and ignore redundant features, a skill vital to efficient listening at all levels of language learning. The Teacher's Book contains extensive notes on how to use the material and completed tasks for each unit. The notes give suggestions to prepare students for listening and include the key language for each recording.

Task Reading, a high-beginning to low-intermediate reading skills text, has an ongoing story line — a day in the life of two adult students in San Francisco. Each unit in the Student's Book presents realistic situations, supported by a wide variety of reading materials, many of which are authentic: dialogs, maps, diagrams, articles, letters, and advertisements. Accompanying exercises help students understand the context and purpose of the many different kinds of readings. Predictable comprehension questions are avoided throughout, and the exercise types are widely varied. The book also includes Teacher's Notes, which give unit-by-unit teaching suggestions.

Teach English is a teacher training course that develops practical skills in the teaching of English as a second language. It can be used in a variety of situations: in-service courses for teachers working at the secondary school level or in language institutes, in pre-service training of secondary school teachers, and as part of a refresher course in practical methodology for more experienced teachers. It is especially designed to meet the needs of teachers whose first language is not English, who teach large classes in rigid classrooms with few resources, who follow a set of syllabus and textbook, who have little control over course content or material.

Writing Matters is designed to develop students' writing ability and give them the confidence to use this ability in everyday life. Through extensive use of real-life examples it provides useful models for students and teachers to work from and discuss in the classroom. It emphasises that writing is a process and also that the demands of writing vary depending on the reader, the purpose, the content and the writing situation. Accordingly, the book is divided into two parts. Part 1 deals with basic procedures such as preparing, drafting and revising texts and also offers help in the often difficult areas of spelling and punctuation. Part 2 focuses on writing contexts ranging from the functional (letters of application, postcards, advertisements) to more creative, personal writing. The units in this part give practice in all these different types of writing. This book ¼br />• guides students progressively towards proficient and effective writing ¼br />• uses lively, authentic material as models ¼br />• is relevant to students' real-life needs and interests ¼br />• can be used flexibly as a course or as supplementary material. Written by experienced teachers specialising in writing skills development, Writing Matters can also be used by adult speakers of English as a first language and secondary school students.

Writing Skills provides learners with problem-solving activities based on a wide variety of text types. The activities give practice in using specific items of language and in developing the ability to organise information. Text types covered are: letters (both informal and formal), reports, brochures, journalistic articles, instructions and stories. In all cases, emphasis is placed on group work, and substantial opportunities and ideas for further practice are given throughout. The Teacher's Book contains notes and a key, as well as comprehensive explanations of the rationale behind the exercises.
