Speaking Time 1, w/MP3 Audio CD (Elementary Level)

Speaking Time is a fun easy-to-use three-level series designed for elementary school students of English.

The activities presented in each unit of the books help students expand their basic speaking skills through guided practice. Additional listening and pair-work activities provide opportunities for students to hear spoken models and practice their own oral communicative skills.

The content of Speaking Time covers a wide range of theme-based topics over twenty units per book. Each unit contains four pages of linked language practice based on a given modeled speech. Each unit builds up a mini presentation, giving learners confidence to operate in English-speaking academic environments. Many of the target phrases are recored in a high-quality CD featuring native English speakers. This ensures critical early exposure to correct English pronunciation, stress and intonation.
