Academic Listening Encounters: Human Behavior (Cambridge University Press, 2001)
TYPE OF PROGRAM: ESL
ACCESSION DATE: September 2003
DESCRIPTION:These CDs contain the listening material for Academic Listening
Encounters. The material includes warm-up listening exercises, informal interviews,
and authentic classroom lectures. Using a content-based approach, Academic Listening
Encounters helps prepare high intermediate ESL/EFL students for listening to
lectures and taking notes in an English-speaking college environment. The content
focus of the course is human behavior, which includes such high-interest topics
as stress and health, intelligence, and friendship. These topics are explored
through a series of tasks, based on the listening tape, that give students the
opportunity to practice important listening, discussion, and note-taking skills
such as: listening for implied information; summarizing; giving oral presentations;
using symbols and abbreviation and using telegraphic language. Pre-listening
tasks in the student book expose students to vocabulary they will encounter
in the listening tape and help them acquire skills such as predicting the content
and guessing meaning from context.
