505 _a"Communication Spotlight: Speaking Strategies and Listening Skills, Pre-Intermediate is the third book in the four-level Communication Spotlight series. These are two-skill, speaking and listening texts aimed at adult and young adult, elementary through intermediate level learners of American English.
505 _aSpeaking: Communication Spotlight introduces students to the strategies of speaking: the strategies we use to confirm or clarify what we're saying and what we're hearing, the strategies we use to show interest in and to maintain and develop conversations, the strategies we use that help with fluency and the strategies we may use to compensate for a lack of language - in sum, the strategies that work to give students control in communicative situations.
505 _aListening: Communication Spotlight gives students practice in extended listening for both gist and for detail in situations related to the speaking tasks and draws student attention to some of the phonological features of spoken English.
505 _aListening and Speaking Accuracy: A new feature, Spotlight on Memory, has students concentrate on the structure at the heart of each dialogue.
505 _aVocabulary: Communication Spotlight includes a vocabulary notebook for students to record new words and learn different aspects of word use.
505 _aSituationally-based speaking practice that spotlights strategy. Situationally-based listening practice that spotlights skills, Communication Spotlight.
