Speaking of People

We all like to talk about people! Targeted for high basic to intermediate English-language proficiencies, Speaking of People focuses on conversations about, as well as descriptions of, people. Every unit begins with dialogs, then progresses into exercises and student-based activities to increase student fluency. The student book is packed with four-color pictures, surveys, exercises, and pair-work activities designed to keep students actively engaged. The textbook’s aim is to have students communicate about themselves and others in a student-oriented classroom. All units in Speaking of People provide the vocabulary, structures, and speaking skills needed to communicate about people, including physical appearance, family, feelings, likes, experiences, and personality types.
