Cynical Santa --Answers --TranscriptsDesigned for non-native speakers of English, Twelve American Voices presents a series of entertaining and culturally rich radio documentaries by award-winning producer David Isay. These stories, which were first broadcast on National Public Radio, focus on a range of individuals living and working in contemporary America, from an immigrant Chinese restaurant owner in New York City to an African-American waitress who helped integrate a Southern lunch counter, from the owner of a pawnship-wedding chapel to a retired couple who have become disk jockeys. As students listen to these stories, they hear a variety of regional and ethnic "Englishes" and are introduced to some corners of American culture that are rarely seen in the media. In addition to transcripts of the documentaries, the book includes thought-provoking exercises that encourage students to analyze the language in the stories and to respond in both oral and written form. A CD of the broadcasts is included. Also available are an instructor's manual and a cassette for language labs (both free).Yale language series.12 American voicesEnglish languageTextbooks for foreign speakersListeningProblems, exercises, etcReadersUnited StatesUnited StatesSocial life and customsProblems, exercises, etcEnglish languageListeningReadersUnited States.428.3/4Hauck Maurice Cogan1966-1571238MacDougall Kenneth1963-1571239Isay David1571240MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910777853303321Twelve American voices3845528UNINA
