Introduction to the Course
Course Description
In this course students will develop skills and strategies for listening to authentic academic
content and for speaking in discussions and presentations on academic topics in English.
Students will listen to academic lectures, develop note-taking skills, and synthesize and respond
to content. This course will help students further develop both their fluency and accuracy
through work on pronunciation, spoken grammar, and academic vocabulary. Students will
develop skills for making effective academic presentations in English.
Course Learning Outcomes
Independently, students will be able to…
1. Communicate effectively in academic and social interactions by using a variety of phrases and strategies to participate in and lead small group and class discussions about authentic academic content.
2. Communicate ideas about academic topics clearly, logically, and appropriately in consistently fluent, logically structured, coherent, and unified spontaneous responses and in individual and group informative and persuasive presentations that use effective organizational strategies with a variety of evidence as support, effective delivery, and effective use of electronic visuals.
3. Demonstrate comprehension of listening material with authentic academic content by identifying topic, main ideas, and important details; by making inferences, paraphrasing, summarizing, and synthesizing; by using effective note-taking strategies; by using active listening strategies; and by inferring the speaker’s intended meaning and attitude.
4. Analyze and evaluate listening material with authentic academic content by identifying organizational pattern, rhetorical cues, purpose and audience, and speaker’s opinion; and by evaluating a speaker’s reasoning/logic and support.
5. Use the sounds and sound patterns of English required for comprehensibility, including word stress, phrasal stress, intonation, thought group boundaries, and rhythm.
6. Demonstrate accurate use and comprehension of vocabulary and grammar in speech that contains level-specific grammatical concepts, level-appropriate vocabulary, and target vocabulary; infer meanings of words from context clues.
