Campus Talk: A Comprehensive Language Development Set for Students

Campus Talk is a two-volume language development set designed to help students develop their communication skills in both academic and non-academic environments on campus. It emphasizes an interactional approach to language development, exposing students to the most salient and widely used vocabulary and grammar, illustrating effective conversation maintenance and communication strategies, and highlighting the socio-cultural aspects of communication. The set comprises two textbooks, each containing four instructional units based on real-life situations and conversations students will encounter on campus. Units 5-8 cover various topics such as sharing stories, delivering and engaging in conversations, making and responding to complaints and apologies, building rapport and managing interactions with an audience, keeping your audience focused, making and responding to invitations, and understanding and responding to humor. Each unit includes a range of enabling, input-based, and interactional tasks and activities, a usage-informed vocabulary list, a main production task, and self-assessment. With its challenging tasks and activities and ample opportunities for practice and self-reflection, Campus Talk helps students build confidence and enhance their abilities to express themselves clearly, appropriately, and effectively. The workbooks are targeted at upper-intermediate and advanced learners of English (CEFR B1-C2) to promote interactional language awareness and develop active listening skills.
