Reviews

"[This is] a textbook with a wide variety of speaking, listening, grammar, and pronunciation activities on different topics of interest to most students. The chapters progress in difficulty, so students are challenged throughout the semester."
--Cyndy Reimer, Douglas College
"The wide range of topics makes for an interesting learning experience. I especially liked Chapter 2: Telling It as It Was."
--Laurinda Medeiros, Mohawk College
"Have Your Say has done a good job of providing some brief [audio] segments and a few longish listening segments, but lots of short practice ones, too."
--Diane Mensch, Queen's University
"I really like [the grammar and pronunciation] activities. I find them well structured, providing interesting and relevant activities that I haven't seen elsewhere."
--Ernest Bauer, Université du Québec à Montréal
