Abstract:

This two-volume Campus Talk set delivers a wide range of skills and strategies
which students can actively apply in everyday social communication in both
academic and non-academic environments on campus. It encourages an
‘interactional’ rather than a ‘speaker focused’ language development approach.
Drawing on corpus data, it exposes students to the most salient and widely
used vocabulary and grammar, illustrates the most effective conversation
maintenance and communication strategies and draws attention to the
socio-cultural aspects of communication.

Campus Talk comprises two textbooks. Each textbook contains four instructional
units and each unit is based on situations and conservations that students
will come across in their everyday lives on campus. Part 1 covers areas such
as striking up a conversation, sharing and responding to news, making small
talk, managing group communication, expressing and reacting to opinions,
expressing, responding and talking about feelings and making and responding to
requests.
 
Each unit includes:
- Enabling, input-based and interactional tasks and activities
- Usage-informed vocabulary list
- Main production task
- Self-assessment

With a variety of challenging tasks and activities and plenty of opportunities
to practice and engage in self-reflection and self-assessment, students using
these books will grow their confidence and enhance their abilities to express
themselves clearly, appropriately and effectively. The workbooks are aimed at
upper-intermediate and advanced learners of English (CEFR B1-C2) to promote
interactional language awareness and develop active listening skills.
