Top-Up Listening 3 (Book+Audio CD) Recognizing situations. Recognizing sounds. Unlocking meaning. A 3-part series. For lower level ESL/EFL. Used in summer programs and other introductory ESL/EFL courses for international students.
Teaching English as it is actually spoken Top-Up gives students practice in drawing meaning from naturally spoken English in two ways: using their knowledge of the world and of the language to guess what's coming next, and using their knowledge of how English is actually structured as a sound. Whaddaweemean? - how words run together, how sounds are lost, how vowels naturally weaken and entire words are dropped. Without knowledge of such patterns, listening is impossible. Lots of practice! Lots of variety!
