Say What You Mean 2

5 ways SAY WHAT YOU MEAN helps students speak more fluently. 

Each unit enhances oral language skills by concentrating on specific pronunciation points, allowing students to practice through listening exercises. The "Bring It All Together" segment involves a group project that applies the acquired knowledge from the unit, while the "Go Further" section provides students with the chance to conduct research related to the unit's theme, aided by guided questions that offer discussion ideas for groups.

You and your students will find everything you need for an ideal teaching and learning experience:  

• An integrated skills approach, with speaking at the forefront: Short reading texts and authentic videos are used to springboard conversation tasks in which speaking is maximized.
• Structured and guided task-based speaking activities: Student output is at the heart of the activities with a guided approach to getting students speaking about the topic at hand, rather than general ?speak with a friend? tasks.
• More than just general conversation topics: Explicit strategies are provided to help students communicate and produce various types of output, such as how to build a presentation, how to argue and not argue.
• High-interest and global themes: Contemporary themes of great interest to young adults stimulate discussion and provide meaningful contexts for speaking tasks.
• Tasks that elicit critical thinking in various forms: The - Share Your Ideas - rubric provides ESL and EAP students with guided questions to help them think critically about the texts.
