English for fluency /

English for Fluency is a comprehensive course for students of general English at the undergraduate level. The poetry and prose pieces have been specifically selected to teach the learner English through culturally familiar texts drawn from a wide range of genres and present themes and attitudes that are nearer home and therefore easier to comprehend. The exercises that accompany these texts aim to strengthen the learner s reading comprehension skills as well as offer them an opportunity to develop their critical appreciation skills. The other sections of the book focus on improving writing, listening and speaking skills as well as grammar and vocabulary to help learners achieve both fluency and accuracy. The CD that accompanies the book contains recordings of the texts for the listening exercises and sample dialogues that illustrate how spoken English is used to perform some common communicative functions.
