Novel Scenes

Novel Scenes is a four-book series where each book tells the story of a single character in a situation where events unfold chapter by chapter. Chapters include exercises that build comprehension, vocabulary, speaking, and listening skills. Themes include work, family, money, housing, and so on. The Teacher's Guide that accompanies each book includes an audio CD. Recordings of the stories, dialogs, and listening exercises facilitate fluency, listening, and pronunciation practice. The Teacher's Guide itself offers teaching suggestions and an answer key.
