All Clear 1: Listening and Speaking » (2nd Edition)

For many years, Helen Kalkstein Fragiadakis jotted down high frequency expressions and idioms, and taped them to her fridge. As these slips of paper grew and grew, Helen arranged them into meaningful clusters, which became the basis for All Clear!

All Clear teaches students to recognize and produce the high-frequency idioms, phrases, and contemporary expressions needed in a range of conversational situations. Each lesson focuses initially on chunks of language in the form of idioms and other expressions (collocations) and then provides many structured and communicative activities for speaking, listening, grammar, writing, pronunciation, and public speaking practice.
