Synopsis

Academic Listening Encounters: Human Behavior is a high-intermediate to low advanced text that uses a sustained content approach to help students develop the listening, note-taking, and discussion skills they need to take college courses in an English speaking environment. This book provides students with an introduction to psychology and communication, and covers high-interest topics such as stress, intelligence, and friendship. Each chapter explores one of these topics using a variety of listening materials, including informal interviews and academic lectures. These materials allow students to practice crucial listening skills, such as summarizing what they have heard and listening for implied information; they also serve as stimuli for discussion and note-taking activities.
