Expanding Tactics for Listening is the third level of the Tactics for Listening series. It is intended for intermediate students who have studied English previously but need further practice in understanding everyday conversational language. There are 24 units, four of which contain completely new content for the Third Edition. Expanding Tactics for Listening can be used as the main text for a listening course, as a complementary text in a conversation course, or as the basis for structured student self study.

Each unit features a topic that relates to everyday life such as friendship, making plans, or phone messages. The topics have been chosen for their frequency in conversation and their interest to learners. A wide variety of stimulating and useful activities is included to give students graded practice in listening.
