4.0 out of 5 stars developing your listening skills 4 Dec 2012
By isabelle
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I was really satisfied with this purchase : the content is clearly displayed in the book map, listening activities are carefully graded with special focus on pronunciation. It is really challenging and is a must for anyone who is considering working in a multi-cultural environment.
I presented it to colleagues to share their views and they all very keen on using the book to supplement their classes
One final note : it is definitely suited for students of minimum B1 if not B2 level.
