Future plans  
 

I am currently working on the Intermediate Level and Advanced Level of the following Real Lives, Real Listening books:

A Typical Day • My Family • A Place I Know Well

I am also continuing to build up my collection of authentic listening texts featuring monologues, interviews and group discussions with a wide cross-section of native and non-native English speakers.

In addition, I am considering making available authentic texts through my website, using the same listening training approach as in the Real Lives, Real Listening series. I would e-mail the recording as an MP3 file or wave file, together with the written listening materials directly to institutions. Any feedback on this plan would be gratefully accepted.
