<br/><br/>"Active Listening, Second Edition is a fully updated and revised edition of the popular three-level listening series for adult and young adult learners of North American English. Each level offers students 16 engaging, task-based units, each built around a topic, function, or grammatical theme. Grounded in the theory that learners are more successful listeners when they activate their prior knowledge of a topic, the series gives students a frame of reference to make predictions about what they will hear. Through a careful balance of activities, students learn to listen for main ideas, to listen for details, and to listen and make inferences" (Book Cover).<br/><br/> CONTENTS:<br/> Plan of the book Acknowledgements<br/> Author acknowledgements<br/> To the teacher<br/> Before you begin, learn how to listen<br/>  Unit 1: Meeting people<br/>  Unit 2: Families<br/>  Unit 3: Numbers<br/>  Unit 4: Let's eat Expansion 1: Thailand: Information and an authentic student interview  Unit 5: Free time<br/>  Unit 6: Great outfit!<br/>  Unit 7: In the house<br/>  Unit 8: Time Expansion 2: Kuwait: Information and an authentic student interview  Unit 9: Movies<br/>  Unit 10: A typical day<br/>  Unit 11: Locations<br/>  Unit 12: Gifts Expansion 3: Italy: Information and an authentic student interview  Unit 13: Part-time jobs<br/>  Unit 14: Celebrations<br/>  Unit 15: Inventions<br/>  Unit 16: Folktales Expansion 4: India: Information and an authentic student interview
