« Have Your Say is a learner-centred listening and speaking course book that provides authentic, meaningful, and engaging listening content designed to develop listening and speaking proficiency and communicative confidence. Eight theme-based chapters focus on the essential skills students need to communicate successfully in social and academic interactions. Two main listening selections per chapter, including several from authentic sources, expose students to a variety of listening genres, such as a short lecture, conversations, news reports, and interviews. Listening activities help students develop crucial listening skills, such as listening for the main ideas and listening for details. Abundant speaking activities bring the classroom alive, engaging students in meaningful and practical interactions. Vocabulary development using the Oxford Phrasal Academic Lexicon (OPAL) ensures that students learn and practise the most common academic words, preparing them for the vocabulary demands of professional and academic life. Grammar Notes in each chapter help students achieve communicative accuracy and fluency. Pronunciation activities give students opportunities to practise and improve their pronunciation. Communicating in the Real World activities at the end of each chapter take the lesson beyond the classroom and give students opportunities to apply what they have learned to real-life situations. » (Publisher's Website)
