`Overall, Real Lives, Real Listening is a useful and well-constructed book. It is accessible for both teachers and learners and encourages independent learning, something which is extremely important but which many learners still seem reluctant to undertake without a high level of teacher input. I shall certainly be keeping this book on my desk at work and will be using it to supplement my own lessons.' James Harvey, English Australia Journal, http://www.englishaustralia.com.au/english-australia-journal `Real Lives Real Listening is outstanding. Unlike much so-called 'listening' material, it focuses systematically on the problems that really prevent learners from understanding natural speech, and does so through interesting and motivating activities. Highly recommended.' -Michael Swan `Sheila Thorn's work leads the field in helping learners to engage with real speakers in real contexts. An outstanding resource for teachers and students alike.' -Professor Ron Carter `An innovative series that offers a fresh and practical approach to developing listening skills by means of authentic texts.' -Dr John Field
