We created the Touchstone series with the help of the Cambridge International Corpus of North American English. The corpus is a large database of language from ‘everyday conversations, radio and television broadcasts, and nevispapers and books. Using computer software, we analyze the corpus to find out how people actually use English. We use the corpus as a “touchstone” to make sure that each lesson teaches you authentic and useful language. The corpus helps us choose and explain the grammar, vocabulary, and conversation strategies you need to communicate successfully in English. Unit features Geiting started presents fnew grammar in natural contexts such as surveys, interviews, conversations, and phone messages. College News Figure it out challenges ~ ‘you to notice how grammar \ works. Building vocabulary uses ~§ pictures to introduce new words and expressions. Word sort helps you « organize vocabulary and ~~) then use it to interact with ‘your classmates. Speaking naturally helps - vyou understand and use rratural pronunciation and intonation. Touchstone makes learning English fun, It gives you many different opportunities to interact with your classmates. You can exchange personal information, take class surveys, role-play situations, play games, and discuss topies of personal interest. Using Touchstone, you can develop confidence in your ability to understand real-life English and to express yourself clearly and effectively in everyday situations. We hope you enjoy using Touchstone and wish you every success with your English classes.
