This review is from: Developing Tactics for Listening (Student Book) (Paperback)

This book series provides good contextual listening situations. There is an emphasis on listening for jist and content which is good for Asian students to realize they don't have to understand every word. This book lacks pronounciaton exercises, but otherwise it is an outstanding high intrest listening text.This text is well suited for begining and low intermediate learners but may not be challanging enough for high students.
