Spanish Sentence Builders – LISTENING – Teacher Book (The Language Gym – Sentence Builder Books)
£25.70
The Teacher Book
This booklet contains answers and transcripts for all exercises.
The Spanish Listening Booklet matches to the minutest details the content of the 19 units included in the best-selling workbook for beginner-to-pre-intermediate learners “Spanish sentence builders”, by the same authors.
For best results, the two books should be used together.
This book fully implements Dr Conti’s popular approach to listening-skills instruction, L.A.M. (aka Listening-As-Modelling), laid out in his seminal work: “Breaking the Sound Barrier: Teaching Learners how to Listen” (Conti and Smith, 2019).
L.A.M. is based on the concept that listening instruction should train students in the mastery of the key micro-listening skills identified by cognitive psychologists.
Each unit contains around 13 listening tasks, which provide continuous and extensive recycling of the target constructions and vocabulary items and address the development of the key listening micro-skills.
The tasks include engaging and tested Conti classics such as: “Spot the intruder”, “Missing details”, “Faulty transcript”, “Break the flow”, “Faulty translation”, “Gapped translation” and “Listening slalom”, alongside more traditional listening comprehension tasks.

The resources are well thought out and the authors are very inspiring. There are a couple of issues for feedback though. There are some small errors in the teacher’s book. The grey boxes (across all books) do not photocopy clearly at all for students. Finally, it would be very useful to have the sound tracks as MP3s or a CD at least rather than having to log in each time which can be time consuming in the classroom, even if that meant offering a more expensive version. That said, I do strongly recommend and look forward to further works.
