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 newspapers 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 Getting started presents \ ‘new grammar in natural contexts such as surveys, interviews, conversations, and phone messages. = Figure it out challenges ~ ‘you to notice how grammar “h works. Building language builds ~; i eer (on the grammar presented | sss. in Lesson A al In conversation panels~_ | * tell you about the grammar and vocabulary that are ‘most frequent in spoken North American English. 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 topics of personal interest. Using Touchstone, you can develop confidence in your abilty 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.

Conversation strategy — helps you “manage” conversations better. In this lesson, you learn how to ask questions that aren't too direct. The strategies are based on examples from the corpus. Listening and speaking skils are often practiced together. You listen to a variety of conversations based on real- ‘ite language. Tasks include “listen and react” activities. Reading has interesting — texts from newspapers, ‘magazines, andthe Writing tasks include e-mails, Internet. The activities help letters, short articles, and you develop reading skills. ‘material for Web pages. ‘Help notes give you information on things like punctuation, linking ideas, and organizing information.

On your own is a practical task to help you learn vocabulary outside of clas. r features ES sie a The Workbook gives you language practice and extra reading and writing activites. Progress checks help you assess your progress. The Class Audio Program presents the conversations and listening activities in natural, lively English.
