Description
Academic Listening helps students with the following:
– introduces students to topics from the sciences, social sciences and the arts, readying them for study in an English academic setting
– shows students how to approach these topics critically by identifying support, seeing where doubt is cast, and assessing what is presented
– develops student note-taking skills systematically
– focuses on summarizing
– teaches students naturally reduced, English weak forms
– students get practice listening to lectures, and “campus encounter” conversations
