Using the Student´s Audio CD
All dialogues and texts in the Culture Corner and Curricular Cuts sections are recorded on the Student’s Audio CD. Students have the chance to listen to these recordings at home as many times as they want in order to improve their pronunciation and intonation. The suggested stages of such self-access study are:
- The student listens to the recording and follows the lines in the text or dialogue.
- The student listens to the recording with pauses after each sentence or exchange. The student repeats as many times as needed, trying to imitate the speaker’s pronunciation and intonation.
- The student listens to the recording again, then reads aloud.
