Teacher's Guides:

1. Brief summary of the audio clip
2. Overview of notable conversation features
3. Transcripts of audio clips
4. Selected Line-by-Line Commentaries
5. Vocabulary Lists

Audio:
An integral part of the modules is the use of audio. The audio file is important since it conveys the nuances in intonation and prosody, which in turn convey important discourse meanings and constitute critical conversation strategies.

The Audio Files used within these units are streamed using the QuickTime streaming format. You must have the QuickTime Player to hear these audio files. QuickTime is a free download. Get QuickTime
