Speaking & Social Interaction: Second Edition

Speaking & Social Interaction teaches learners to use English as a tool for social interaction. This new edition not only teaches important aspects of social interaction but also provides a framework for conversational analysis and practice. This edition contains an updated format and illustrations, as well as new topics for discussion and improved activities.
The text addresses such social situations as making acquaintances, telephoning, giving opinions, agreeing and disagreeing, getting and giving advice, making invitations, and offering and requesting help. Each of the ten units of the text guides students through a warm-up, dialogue for analysis, expressions for use, points to remember, as well as various activities, such as small group, community, and homework activities.
Speaking & Social Interaction can be used in the United States and abroad, as a main or supplementary text, and for students of all ages.
