Listening Jump for Better Speaking is an easy-to-use three-level textbook series for elementary pre-intermediate learners. This series is perfectly placed to provide extensive listening training through carefully graded activities on a range of common topics.

The listening material for the activities centers on original recorded native English speaker dialogs and monologs. They simulate very real speech exchanges from daily life that students can often more readily and more naturally connect with.
• A Dictation section can be used as ready-made homework material. It provides many hours of further listening training as it recycles all the material from the earlier units.
• Twelve topic-based 6-page units with opportunity for extensive listening training through over 100 real-world native-speaker audio recordings
• Easy-to-use intensive listening-based activities that need minimal teacher preparation
• Over 100 audio tracks with native-English speaker pronunciation in graded real-world dialogs and monologs
• Full-color illustrations to guide comprehension and anticipation of material
