Course objectives

The Academic Skills: Listening course includes listening to both monologic and interactive discourse and focuses on listening to lectures, note taking and discussion.
The main objectives of the course are to expose students to different standards of English as well as to different techniques and styles of lecturing.
At the end of the course the students should be able to understand longer stretches of spoken discourse and take orderly notes; they should be able to discuss, explain and critically assess both the contents of the talk and the speaking style of the lecturer.
Throughout the semester students are encouraged to link theory in the classroom to practice at schools via practical tasks.
