Advanced Listening/Speaking

Catalog description

Students enhance their aural comprehension skills in both academic and social settings by listening to taped lectures and news broadcasts, radio and television shows, and guest speakers. They develop communication, organization and pronunciation skills necessary for effective academic presentation and discussion with an introduction to lecture note taking. Emphasis is also placed on accent reduction as students focus on sound discrimination and oral production of English. Oral communication skills are further developed as students practice interviewing, summarizing, and giving presentations and take part in group problem-solving activities.
