This course aims to advance students’ listening and writing skills. Students will further develop listening skills (e.g., identifying main ideas, details, making inferences, and note-taking) through less simplified and authentic listening materials. Students will also develop writing skills through a variety of interactive activities. By the end of the course, students will learn to: 1. comprehend listening materials which cover more specialized or sophisticated topics. 2. identify and analyze points of view, arguments, or implicit information in the listening material. 3. learn to summarize and respond to listening materials in academic writing (e.g., a summary, reaction papers, or essay). 4. continue to build paragraph and essay writing skills.
