This book - Intermediate Skills - represents a new approach to skills teaching, in which integrated skills activities bring together reading, writing, listening and speaking in a natural and realistic way, and provide a balanced method for students to practise and develop their language skills.
The topics have been carefully chosen to give interesting, useful and authentic contexts, both for understanding and producing language.
• Authentic and semi-authentic reading and listening texts.
• Assistance with vocabulary development.
• Use of texts as a springboard for discussion and the production of a piece of writing.

Teaching Vocabulary
Lessons from the Corpus,
Lessons for the Classroom
The acquisition of vocabulary is arguably the most critical component of successful language learning. Until recently, however, it has been difficult to determine the most important words and phrases needed to establish a suitable vocabulary for conducting conversations most effectively. The Corpus' massive collection of texts has given us access to a wealth of information regarding spoken and written English that was previously unavailable.

This textbook introduces undergraduate students of language and linguistics to the basic ideas, insights, and techniques of contemporary semantic theory. The book starts with everyday observations about word meaning and use primarily and then gradually zooms in on the question of how speakers manage to meaningfully communicate with phrases, sentences, and texts they have never come across before. Extensive English examples provide ample illustration.
