Designed for intermediate learners. Communicating in Khmer: An interactive Intermediate Level Khmer Course provides the reader with a fascinating tour of the traditions of the country and cultural notes throughout. The presentation of the material is engaging, with references to not only the vocabulary, but also the often-overlooked nuances of their translation. Formatted with 2 books and 2 CD-ROMs.This CD-ROM (CD1) contains 15 lessons representing a second-year Khmer language course taught at the university level. The lessons range in terms of difficulty from intermediate to advanced second-year level. Each lesson focuses on particular Khmer cultural and social themes. The general layout of each lesson is followed by an organized communicative activity as follows: * Text in Khmer script- an introduction to a text, which can be used as a reading or listening activity. * Picture matching - which can be used as pre- or post-reading activities. * True/false - general knowledge concepts. * Sequencing - which look for detailed information about the text. * Multiple choices - which reinforce the comprehension of the text. * Word matching-opposite meaning, same meaning or translation into English. * Sentence completion -grammar is expressed in context. * Word order - teaching the student the proper order of sentence structure. * Writing activity - creating sentences or composing a text on a given theme or topic. This activity can be presented first as an oral or speaking activity before learners write out their work in Khmer. * Video-audio clips - show authentic Khmer life.
