【內容試閱 請點我】 Description Smart Listeners is a three-book series designed to consolidate the foundational listening skills of English language learners at the pre-intermediate level (CEFR A2-Low). Each unit focuses on thematically categorized listening content based around topics that are relevant to the typical learner's life. Each unit contains listening tasks first targeting general comprehension followed by tasks checking comprehension for discrete listening items. The theme of each unit is explored through a dialog, podcast, and informative talk, each practicing the two types of listening tasks in various ways. An accompanying workbook provides additional listening comprehension practice targeting key phrases in each unit along with additional dictation practice.
