Prepared for practicing language teachers, this book's aim is to help them make the most of audio, a readily accessible resource. The book shows, with the help of numerous practical examples, how a range of language skills can be developed. Most examples are in French. Chapters cover the following information: (1) making the most of audio (e.g., for and against its use, some approaches to making radio programs, sources, copyright); (2) using audio to develop listening skills (e.g., spot the word, frequency grids, spot the discrepancy, ordering/sequencing, matching halves, gap-filling, listening grids, translation and re-translation); (3) using audio to develop speaking skills (e.g., repetition, echoing, prediction, questioning, dialogue cues, role play, preparation of radio programs); (4) using audio to develop writing skills (e.g., question and assisted answer, wordsquares and crosswords, dictations, script completion, paraphrasing, transcription, essay writing); (5) managing the system (e.g., basic equipment, radios, recorders, playback machines, student loan pool, listening conditions, technical services, security, storage and retrieval systems, cataloging systems, language laboratories).
