Even the most able student in a traditional classroom can feel overwhelmed and unprepared in an academic lecture. Oxford's new series, Lecture Ready: Strategies for Academic Listening, Note-taking and Discussion, prepares students to encounter academic lectures with skill and confidence.
Students attend actual lectures via DVD
after practicing with targeted lecture langauge. The lectures include elements of natural speech, such as false starts and digressions, to aid students in recognising and deciphering language that might otherwise distract them from the meaningful content of a lecture. Key features:
- DVD, with academic lectures for students to view on their own or in class
- Themed chapters, arranged into units that align with core academic content areas: Business, Humanities, Media Studies and Science
- Listening Strategies to help students recognise and tune in to verbal and nonverbal language markers typically used by professors in the lecture setting
- Note-taking Strategies, to help students manage information intake
- Discussion Strategies, to help students participate fully and smoothly in classroom discussion
- Audio programme, with all lectures plus exercises targeting specific lecture language.
