It is designed for low intermediate to more advanced students, and the lessons become more challenging from Unit 1 to Unit 8. It is also designed to develop the studentsÕ conversational skills, build their vocabulary and reinforce their grammar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt works best in a traditional (or not so traditional classroom) with a skilled ESL teacher and enthusiastic students willing to take on a slightly different approach to learning the English language.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach lesson begins with new vocabulary. It then proceeds to offer a short story or situation. Then it is followed by a dialog. Afterwards, there are comprehension questions, language exercises and ideas for role-plays. Once the student is familiar with the new language, role-plays offer excellent chances to practice and use the language in real situations.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eThe situations follow strict rules of English grammar and syntax; however, the dialogs sometimes stray from the rules and focus more on the way native English-speaking people converse in natural situations. This includes informal vocabulary, blending words like in the case of ÒgunnaÓ for Ògoing toÓ and various idiomatic and slang expressions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere are two appendices at the end of the text. Appendix 1 offers answers to the comprehension questions. Appendix 2 covers several grammar points such as verb tenses and voices.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thomas Speirs","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44232969158817,"sku":"9781312461017","price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/1120\/3233\/files\/ym8ymn-front-shortedge-384_0bacf3dd-fc4e-4e6e-9281-fa2114bfd53d.jpg?v=1748352830","url":"https:\/\/bookswholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/conversational-english-for-a-global-society-intermediate-level","provider":"BooksWholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
