Otherwise, how can we expect students to want to read them in English?\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is the authors' golden rule when they choose texts and topics for every level of American English File. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt ensures you get material that learners will enjoy reading and will want to talk about. Texts such as 'Could you live without money?' really help to generate opinion and discussion. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThey create a desire to communicate. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHaving created the desire, American English File then helps you to develop learners' communication skills. One way it does this is with a strong focus on pronunciation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eResearch shows that poor pronunciation is a major contributor to breakdowns in communication (Jennifer Jenkins: The Phonology of English as an International Language). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAmerican English File integrates pronunciation into every lesson - the 'little and often' approach. But that's not all. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe unique English File Sounds Chart puts a picture to each sound in the phonetic alphabet, so learners find it easier to remember the sounds and, ultimately, improve their pronunciation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christina Latham-Koenig, Clive Oxenden\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0194776190\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780194776196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/21\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.80h x 8.60w x 0.30d","brand":"Christina Latham-Koenig","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44119401627903,"sku":"9780194776196","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_da9fb7f4-4f51-4c08-b41d-be2c71a2978a.jpg?v=1687409156","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/american-english-file-second-edition-christina-latham-koenig-9780194776196","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
