Speaking

Skills in English Speaking Level 1 Student CD The Garnet Education Skills in English series was highly commended in the Duke of Edinburgh English Speaking Union English Language Book Award in 2004. Do you have to speak in English as part of your studies? Then you need Skills in English Speaking. This course builds the skills that help you to speak in English in class and tutorials. At Level 1, you learn how to: * ask about new words; * check sounds in a dictionary; * check pronunciation; * spell words aloud; * say times; * greet; * give personal information; * express likes and dislikes; * request, accept and reject help; * show understanding; * show lack of understanding; * talk about research; * narrate a story; * and keep the conversation going. As well as preparing students for entry into English-medium study, the Skills in English Course is ideal for students who wish to improve their scores in skills-based examinations for university entry requirements, such as the International English Language Testing System (IELTS). Rather than focusing on exam preparation, Skills in English teaches the necessary skills as part of a systematic programme of language development.
