Now in a fourth edition, Contemporary Topics expands on its highly
respected approach to developing academic listening and study
skills. Organized around realistic college lectures, the text
guides learners through carefully sequenced activities in skills
such as note-taking, focusing attention, intensive listening, and
vocabulary building. It also helps students evaluate their
interests and explore possible career paths. New to This Edition
New subject areas, presented as one-on-one academic lectures,
emphasize professional applications such as software engineering,
multimedia design, information technology, urban planning, and
social psychology. Learning Outcomes listed at the outset of each
unit let students know the goals of each unit and what their
learning experience will be. New audio interviews with topic
experts provide context for the upcoming unit lecture. Bottom-up
listening and pronunciation exercises emphasize important
principles and improve real-time perception. An oral presentation
activity, supported by specific preparation and delivery
strategies, concludes each unit and includes the opportunity for
peer evaluation. Proficiency assessments composed of short academic
audio lectures and multiple-choice exams simulate TOEFL-style test
format for practice on high-stakes tests. New Essential Online
Resources include audio, video, and teacher materials (assessments,
teaching notes, answer keys, audioscripts, presentation points, and
more). Other Highlights Corpus vocabulary drawn from the Academic
Word List ensures that students are exposed to core academic
vocabulary. Collaborative activities with presentation strategies
and peer evaluations allow students to make connections and develop
critical thinking skills. Unit comprehension tests assess students'
grasp of key concepts presented in the unit lecture. Mapped to the
Global Scale of English.
