Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dynamic textbook holds the essential keys of communication for ESL/EFL students preparing to attend a university, college, school, or institute where English is the medium of instruction. The task-based approach demands active participation from all students and is packed with innovative, lively activities for building fluency and accuracy in spoken English. The 13 chapters are grouped into six thematic units centered around specific aspects of academic life like leading and participating in group discussions, getting information on campus, visiting a teacher's office, and giving presentations in class. Each of the chapters begins with an introduction and a dialogue analysis, followed by linguistically-focused and fun activities ideal for instilling confidence and motivation. Chapter assignments conclude each chapter with entertaining exercises for role-plays, discussions, and presentations. There are also real-life unit assignments which venture into group projects and tasks outside of the classroom.
