Advanced Speaking Skills with Key and Language Charts

Like its companion volume Advanced Writing Skills, the present book focuses on the needs of the learner a t the advanced level. A t this level, grammatical accuracy alone is simply not enough for successful communication, particularly in speech.
Advanced Speaking Skills takes as its keynote the concept of appropriateness - the choice o f language according to such factors as to whom one is speaking, the moods of the speakers, etc. T h e book thus opens up to the advanced learner the opportunity of better reflecting his own attitudes and reacting to those of others.
T h e accompanying tape, as well as providing intonation models, is designed to help the learner become better aw are o f the nuances of attitude which are an ever-present feature of communication.
T h e book is designed so that - after completing the Introductory Section — the individual  parts can be taken in any order, with no need to work through the whole book, or even whole sections, In a linear way. As each part is self- contained moving from controlled through to free and individual production of appropriate language the book can serve also as excellent supplementary material to m ore traditional advanced course books. m+m+m
