Towards Synthesis: Cassettes

This set of two cassettes are part of an intermediate-level-course which can be used either to precede "Synthesis" or independently. There are 15 units, each presenting and practising a number of language points and providing an average of five hours classwork each. The first five units provide thorough revision and consolidation of previous work. Structures are presented in order of difficulty: "Listening" - tapescripts are contained in the coursework. Longer scripts are easily broken up. "Speaking" - students are given practice in all necessary vocabulary and structure before doing tasks. "Reading" - many of the texts are authentic. Writing - always derives from previous work. Six activity sections provide mainly additional material for role-playing to develop speaking skills. Tests are provided at the end of each sequence of five units and are based on the units' contents.
