Julia M. Dobson, Dean Curry - Dialogs for Everyday Use. More Dialogs for Everyday Use / Джулия Добсон, Дин Карри - Диалоги на каждый день [1994, DOC, ENG]

Dialogs for Everyday Use (green book) is a collection of thirty situational dialogs that focus on a wide variety of communicative situations and natural encounters in English. Each dialog is accompanied by a contextual illustration and can be used as a springboard for extended listening and speaking practice. The text also includes language notes that provide useful information on grammar and intonation patterns. This text is suggested for intermediate learners of English.

More Dialogs for Everyday Use (red book) contains thirty-six situation-based dialogs that present spoken American English in a natural way. The text is similar in instructional approach and format to Dialogs for Everyday Use, but includes longer conversational episodes. This book also includes short language notes that focus on specific grammar points. This text is suggested for intermediate to high-intermediate learners of English. The 36 dialogs will help students of English as a Foreign Language gain practice in hearing and understanding the stream of speech. There is no established order of difficulty in the arrangement of the dialogs within the text, and teachers are encouraged to use them as needed to supplement the more normal type of classroom learning activities. The Notes concentrate upon words and expressions that are either colloquial or idiomatic in nature. The dialogs themselves are kept short so that if teachers feel that memorization of the dialogs can be a part of the pedagogy of presentation, students will not have to face a seemingly insurmountable task of memorizing long passages. Memorization is encouraged since it often helps to develop both listening and reading comprehension.
