Synopsis

This outstanding three-title series prepares college-bound ESL students to understand academic lectures in English. Each text equips students for the challenges of college and university study by helping them listen selectively, take notes, review key ideas, retain information, and apply what they have learned.

Twelve recorded lectures in each level are performed in lively and natural styles to provide a motivating introduction to academic listening. Lectures cover a wide range of thought-provoking contemporary topics. Controlled, realistic note-taking practice, ample pre-listening activities, vocabulary preview, post-lecture tests, and a wealth of illustrations also aid student understanding.

Audiocassettes offer full lectures, presented both divided into parts and in their entirety.

Each book offers the following features:
-- Topic preview
-- Vocabulary preview
-- Identifying main ideas and supporting details
-- Note-taking skills
-- Review and post-listening tests
-- Application of ideas through post-listening activities
