The purpose of the Advanced Spoken English series is to help advanced English learners develop speaking skills for their future jobs. The series consists of two books. Book One, Effective Speaking Skills, focuses on the skills required for producing the types of informative, persuasive and ceremonial speeches which are needed in business settings or on social occasions. Book Two, Interview & Discussion Skills, concentrates on the skills required for getting job interviews and journalistic interviews.
The series can be used for university undergraduates as a coursebook in which systematic training is provided preparing the students for their future jobs. It can also be used for the in-service training of staff members who are expected to make further improvements in their job-related speaking skills in English. Finally, the series can be used for self-directed learning since the series is presented in a very simple, clear style, and also includes more specifics.
The series has been written and designed according to the following key pedagogical principles:
1. All the activities aim at real-world communication.
The series provides learners with authentic communicative activities which are primarily for
business purposes and sometimes for social purposes. Therefore, it is easy for the learners to see
the close link between performing these activities and their future jobs.
2. Learners must be fully engaged in the learning process.
We strongly believe that learning cannot take place without learners' engagement. To guarantee the learners' participation, the series has been designed in such a way that the learners cannot avoid being engaged.
3. Systematic guidance is a must.
Every lesson consists of three sections. Within each section there are a series of activities, arranged from the easy to the difficult. Section One "A Sample Speech" gives learners quality input followed by a detailed analysis with the purpose of showing the learners a good model. Section Two "Guided Practice" enables the learners to practice speaking skills with adequate guidance from the book. Section Three "More Practice" includes a list of activities that are arranged from the less difficult to the more difficult.
4. Meaning-driven learning and form-driven learning are well integrated.
Every lesson tries to achieve a balance between meaning-driven learning and form-driven learning. For example, Section One starts with an understanding of a sample speech which is followed by creating the outline of the sample speech and identifying useful sentence structures and expressions.
