Listening Skills Essentials: Effective Alternatives to Note-taking

Thursday, May 31, 2018 at 10:30 AM–11:15 AM EDT
LL6: Middlesex East
Session Abstract

New approaches to listening address two challenges: parsing connected speech; understanding the discourse functions of intonation. Textbooks bypass listening instruction, focusing instead on teaching note-taking. However, a necessary pre-requisite is ability to process aural input. Practical tips are offered for helping learners process input for message content and intended meaning.
