In addition to helping students discover the meaning of many widely used everyday expressions, this resource provides valuable information about the social and business conventions of spoken English such as talking about plans and intentions, checking meaning and giving feedback and using telephoning and interview strategies.

The grammar, pronunciation and listening features of spoken English are examined within the context of everyday conversations.

The audio recordings present speakers with a variety of English accents from around the world, including North America, Australia, South Africa, as well as a variety of British English accents. Information about the notable differences in pronunciation between different varieties of spoken English is provided.
