Talk about It!: An Integrated Approach to Bold, Dynamic Topics
Talk about It! is an integrated skills textbook that provides a comfortable forum for students to practice language and discuss timely and sometimes sensitive topics in everyday life - drinking and driving, AIDS, and sexism in the workplace, among others.
In each unit, language strategies are promoted through pre- and postreading activities. Language functions, current American/Canadian slang, and idioms and other vocabulary are contextualized in authentic sources. Students' original ideas and creativity are encouraged throughout, and the text sets the framework for preparation, practice, and production of language in real situations. Activities require students to negotiate meaning and practice important problem-solving and problem-posing skills.
