Synopsis

This intermediate text offers a rigorous, academically-focused listening program centered around a series of high-interest lectures. It is premised on the notion that second language learners must develop a much broader competency in listening comprehension than in speaking, since the listener has little or no control over the vocabulary, speech rate, or content used by the speaker.
