Study Speaking is for intermediate level and above students who need to speak English in connection with their academic work. It is intended primarily for use on language programmes preparing learners of English for study at university or college.

The course is designed to improve students' speaking skills by

- activating and extending their linguistic competence

- increasing their confidence in using spoken English

- developing their ability to analyse and evaluate spoken performance

- sharpening their strategic competence in face-to-face interaction.

Classroom tasks that practise skills required in the IELTS Interview module are highlighted throughout the course.

The Second Edition has been comprehensively revised, restructured and extended with these new features:

- a greater focus on seminar skills

- a wider variety of feedback to tasks

- much more comprehensive Teacher's notes at the back of the bookems

Study Speaking has transcripts of the listening materials contained on the audio CD or audio cassette.
