Listening-Speaking Intro is an Introduction to English for Academic Purposes in listening and speaking skills. It contains six two-part lectures on the topic within a field of academic study: architecture, marketing, earth science, chemistry, and fine arts. The lectures range from three to four minutes in length and are provided on the audio CD packaged with the book. The exercises practice an array of important academic listening and speaking skills, including making presentations, and also reinforce vocabulary and reading and writing skills. Each unit includes activities based on the in-class interactions students will encounter in academic settings—including pair work, group discussions, and debates. Toward this end, six video scenes (available on the companion website) model student behavior and incorporate key words and phrases typically used when working in groups. By addressing the breadth and depth of listening and speaking tasks required in academic settings, students will grow confident in areas that build the fluencies needed to succeed in their academic endeavors.
