N1  - Includes bibliographical references and index; "Tuning In offers intermediate students a unique opportunity to explore different listening genres from a variety of real-world sources. Authentic listening selections, including commercials, folk songs, oral histories, and call-in radio shows, provide a rich context for developing language skills
; Engaging listening segments allow students to explore timeless themes  such as love, volunteering, and childhood memories
; Pre-listening activities help focus students on the theme and vocabulary while post-listening exercises provide practice with language functions, pronunciation, grammar, and critical thinking
; Listening for Inference activities encourage students to infer the speaker's meaning, listen for attitudes and feelings through tone of voice, and interpret context
; Unit wrap-up activities allow students to compare and contrast the three listening selections, analyze the linguistic components of each genre, and create a text of their own." (Book Cover); CONTENTS; Unit 1 SELLING A DREAM (Genre: Radio Ads)
