 tcS'eries Overview
Tactics for Listening Third Edition is a three-level series of
listening textbooks for English learners, comprehensively
revised and expanded to provide more listening input
and a new focus on developing test-taking skills. The
three Tactics for Listening levels-Basic, Developing,
and Expanding-comprise a comprehensive course in
listening skills.
Basic Tactics for Listening
Basic Tactics for Listening is the first level of the
Tactics for Listening series. It is intended for students
who have studied English previously but need further
practice in understanding simple conversational
language. There are 24 units, four of which contain
completely new content for the Third Edition. Basic
Tactics for Listening can be used as the main text for
a listening course, as a complementary text in a
conversation course, or as the basis for structured
student self-study.
Each unit features a topic that relates to everyday
life such as family, shopping, or directions. The topics
have been chosen for their frequency in conversation
bl
and their interest to learners. A wide variety of
stimulating and useful activities is included to give
Pu
students graded practice in listening.
Student Book
al
In the Basic Tactics for Listening Student Book, students
practice listening for a variety of purposes and hear
ng
examples of different types of spoken English including
casual conversations, instructions, directions, requests,
Ja
descriptions, apologies, and suggestions. Essential
listening skills are practiced throughout the text. These
skills include listening for key words, details, and gist;
listening and making inferences; listening for attitudes;
listening to questions and responding; and recogniz�g
and identifying information.
Each unit has five sections. The first section, Getting
Ready, introduces the topic of the unit and presents key
vocabulary for the unit listening tasks. The next three
sections, Listening 1, Listening 2, and Listening 3 are linked
to conversations or monologues on the audio program.
The Listening sections provide task-based, graded
listening practice. The final section, Conversation Corner,
allows students to move from receptive to productive use
of language through structured Pronunciation, Dictation,
and Conversation practice. All of the Conversation Corner
content is completely new for the Third Edition.
Jangal.com
n nn
Tactics for Testing, an all-new review and extension
section at the end of each Student Book, provides
additional listening comprehension practice through
two-page lessons. These Tactics for Testing materials
help students develop better test-taking skills while
exposing them to formats from the listening sections
® ® ™
of the TOEIC test, the TOEFL test, IELTS , and other
exams. A Testing Focus and Test-taking Skill for each
lesson help students and teachers get the greatest benefit
from Tactics for Testing.
A complete Vocabulary Index is also provided in the
back of each Student Book.
Audio Program
The complete audio program for the Basic Tactics for
Listening Student Book is available as a set of four
n
Class Audio CDs.
io
New for the Third Edition, the audio
at
tracks for the Listening 3, Pronunciation,
AU D I @
and Dictation activities in each unit DOWNLOAD
ic

section at the back of the book are also available
to students and teachers for download at
www.oup.com I elt I tacticsforlistening3e.com,
providing any time, anywhere listening practice
and opportunities for self-study.
Teacher's Book
The Basic Tactics for Listening Teacher's Book provides
teaching notes, answer keys, optional activities, audio
scripts, and photocopiable Vocabulary Worksheets for
each unit. An icon at the bottom of the first page of each
Student Book unit reminds teachers that there is a
Vocabulary Worksheet available for that unit.
Testing Program and Resource CD-ROM
Packaged with the Teacher's Book, the Basic Tactics
for Listening Testing Program and Resource CD-ROM

final tests. New for the Third Edition, midterm and final
tests are also available in the TOEIC® test, the TOEFL
