Authentic and Aware: Advanced Conversation Strategies

This 1994 ESL textbook for advanced academic students remains under-rated and under-appreciated. Bringing together concise readings, group and partner activities, and detailed learning strategies, this book develops multiple academic skills in an engaging manner. Chapters include "I Understand Exactly What I Think You Said", "Crossing the Line" and "It's Not Easy Being Good", and lean toward the politically correct direction. Yet solid organization, practical language tips, and a rich variety of student-centered, communicative tasks make this book a valuable resource for teachers today.
