Our own experience in teaching and learning second languages has been that language learning entails imagination, involvement, and interaction. Focusing on individual skills, while certainly worthwhile and necessary, sometimes tends to sidetrack the learner - the learner is often not able to use the skills he or she has acquired in isolation. The purpose of this text is to present many necessary skills in integrated units, with the units always being directed toward atransition to language production. All lessons in Listening Transitions are based on functional dialogs, and a variety of practices are included to promote listening and interaction skills.
