Elementary Task Listening is for elementary and lower-intermediate students who need to understand English as it is spoken both in the UK and in a wider international context. The approach is similar to that of Task Listening The twenty-one units contain: - Short recordings of authentic speech in simulated situations - A variety of accents, both native-speaker and foreign - Simple tasks with clear illustrations, which encourage students to sift out the essential information from what they hear - Thematically linked reading and writing exercises - Topics related to the real-life needs and interests of students and, by extension, to the topics covered by most beginners' courses (e.g. shopping, travelling etc.) The Teacher's Book, which will also be useful for self-study, contains answers, extensive notes and a complete tapescript for each unit.
