About this title

Synopsis

Listen for It is a practical text that helps students develop the skills needed for participating in conversations on common topics. Through guided-tasks, students improve such skills as listening for the main idea and listening for key words. They also increase their comprehension of mechanical features such as contractions, stress, and intonation.
