Media Matters is a communication-focused English skills book for university students. The book is based around contemporary pop culture topics that engage learners. Themes in the book range from the recent popularity of superheroes, horror movies, video games, and geek culture to the influences that the 1980s are having on us today. In Media Matters, students are presented with extensive opportunities to practice the language skills listening, speaking, reading, andwriting. The development of vocabulary is another important focus of this book. Students using this book will find themselves able to talk about a variety of engaging contemporary topics - the kinds that they enjoy talking about with their friends, rather than the typical topics that textbooks often present.
