Spoken English: A Foundation Course Part 1 (revised edition) is intended to help develop the oral communication skills of second language learners, especially those who have had a regional language medium of instruction at school and who have had little or no exposure to spoken English. This is aimed at students preparing to enter the mainstream, which would require them to compete with those who have a stronger base in English. The book can, however, be used just as effectively as self-instructional material by older learners who are employed or engaged in different activities of their own. The two parts of the book come with audio CDs that give learners an opportunity to listen to dialogues in everyday situations and that provide answers to the practice exercises as well. Also included in the book is brief, easy-to-understand tips on pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar and usage that learners is sure to find useful when learning to speak English. The book has been revised to include new dialogues set in familiar situations, more usage notes and an additional appendix.
