The book is divided into five sections: Introduction, Words, Sounds, Sentences, Pragmatics. These sections, both in the book and on this site can be thought of as learning modules.
Each module on the web site contains powerpoint files available for downloading. They are summaries of what is in the book and provide headings for taking notes. They are also used for the mini-lecture movies, each of which presents a topic in sequence from each section of the book. You can either watch the movie before reading the relevant section of the book or watch afterwards for revision (or both). Each mini-lecture movie begins with an opening slide featuring the section of the book it relates to.
Finally there are sound files. These are short and aim to get you thinking about language issues, or they provide some additional material on related topics.
