Listen for It is a practical text that helps students develop the skills needed for participating in conversations on common topics.

They also increase their comprehension of mechanical features such as contractions, stress, and intonation.
The Teacher's Guide provides instructions for each activity, task objectives. Lists of new vocabulary, and a variety of optional activities. An answer key and a tapescript are also included.
