Discussion from A-Z Intermediate by Wallwork, Adrian (1997) is the course book with 26 topic-related units - one for each letter of the alphabet. With an emphasis on speaking skill, Discussion from A-Z Intermediate also provides students with reading texts and some listening exercises in order to supply information and provoke discussion. The study guide is designed to assist students when they study the course book on their own. The guide focuses on helping students improve their speaking skill through the following stages: 1. A pre-discussion activity where students write down related questions. (e.g. warm-ups, pre-listening,...) 2. A discussion initiated by answering such questions, and if possible drawing students’ own personal experiences. 3. The logical or illogical extension of ideas brought up by the discussion. 4. A round-up of conclusions 5. A written summary for consolidation. This study guide has two parts: 1. A guide to help learners learn the course book by themselves. 2. 20 assignments for learners to practise and test their speaking progress after learning the course book. 2 UNIT 1: APPEARANCES I.
