‘Understanding Spoken English - Book One’ has been designed to help students of English understand spoken language as it is encountered in everyday business and social situations in English speaking environments around the world. In addition to helping students discover the meaning of many widely used everyday expressions, this resource provides valuable information about the social and business conventions of spoken English such as talking about plans and intentions, checking meaning and giving feedback and using telephoning and interview strategies. The grammar and pronunciation features of spoken English are examined within the context of everyday conversations.

Features of English pronunciation are also examined within the context of everyday conversations.
