As a result, this course will meet many of the needs of any student who has passed beyond an intermediate stage in his studies, and who wishes to progress to a point where he can speak and understand English with a certain amountof confidence and facility. The course contains ten units, each one including a listening passage, a dialogueformemorization and repetition, replacementdrills,... Tovább
