This course is designed to help students whose native language is not English to gain functional intelligibility, functional communicability, increase self-confidence, and speech monitoring abilities. This entails a better control of their pronunciation during a communicative task, a faster recovery from a communicative breakdown, and the overall intelligibility during spontaneous speech. The course will focus on higher level listening skills and strategies such as note-taking, predicting, extracting specific and detailed information, guessing meaning from context, and getting the gist through content-based activities. Students will be provided with the fundamentals of listening and phonetics namely vowels, consonants, stress in words, rhythm and intonation. Throughout the course, students will also be exposed to aural authentic listening materials such as interviews, movies, songs, lectures, TV shows and news broadcasts. This course also aims to equip student-teachers with a strong sensitivity towards different accents of English language being spoken around the world. Collaborative learning through group and pair work will be encouraged |
