ACADENG 102
Academic English Listening and Reading
Please note: this is archived course information from 2017 for ACADENG 102.
Description
This course aims to develop students’ listening and reading skills in academic contexts. Students use a range of learning tools that make it easier to find the meaning in written and spoken texts. There is a focus on strategies which direct the reader or listener toward the main ideas, and students are shown ways to identify and note down key points. Some tasks focus on the organisation of the written or spoken text and others help students develop their thinking skills to become more analytical about a topic. By doing this course students are better equipped to handle new vocabulary and types of text as well as lecturers' speaking styles, and students should feel more confident about listening in lectures and reading academic texts for their mainstream courses.
Class limits information for 2017: Summer School enrolment is limited to 30 students, Semester One enrolment is limited to 30 students, Semester Two enrolment is limited to 30 students. Admission is on a first in, first enrolled basis.
