Conversations blend speaking and listening skills.

The below resources are designed to sharpen your listening but also increase your vocabulary while providing structure.

Each independent unit takes you through different skills:

• Reading: articles demonstrate grammar, vocabulary, structure, coherence and cohesion. Questions are designed to focus on detail, rather than gist.

• Listening: our ears need training; what we hear must be clearly translated into words we comprehend. Listen to the speaker’s pronunciation and how they fit words together.
