As part of a combined book-and-cassette course in the skills connected with speaking and listening needed in the oral communication section of GCSE English, this third book contains many examples of oral material such as speeches, drama, interviews, talks, stories and discussions. Students are guided to an understanding of what makes effective speech and how to carry this over into their own performance.;Each section of the book looks at a specific oral skill or aspect of speech and provides material (much of it taped) which enables students to examine this skill or aspect in detail.;The first two books in the series are Reading and Understanding and Writing and Coursework.
