Basic Conversation Strategies is a prequel to the intermediate-level
Conversation Strategies. One significant difference is that
Basic Conversation Strategies has an important listening component.
Conversation is, after all, not just speaking; it also involves listening, and a major part of the
approach in this book includes training learners to be good listeners.
There are three components to this material. The Student Workbook contains everything students will need
to do the exercises, except the material they need to listen and respond to. This material is available
as Downloadable Audio. The Student Workbook does not contain printed versions of the listening input
because real conversation is not accompanied with sub-titles or closed captions. The printed version of
the listening input is available in the free Teacher’ s Edition, which is an essential component of
Basic Conversation Strategies. The Teacher’ s Edition contains the entire Student
Workbook and the complete scripts of all the listening input, plus teaching notes and suggestions, as
well as feedback and evaluation forms. The audio has 67 listening exercises containing six types of
exercises: 1) Listen and Fill-In, 2) Circle, 3) Choose, 4) Repeat, 5) Respond, and 6) Write.
