This book is designed to help advanced ESL/EFL students prepare for the demands of academic lecture comprehension and note-taking ... The goal of this book is to teach students how to listen to a lecture and take notes : how to recognize lecture oraganiztion, use lectures cues and conventions that indicate organization and emphasis, recognize redundancy, and predict information. The text teachers these skills and provides numerous opportunities to practice them. Another goal of this book is to provide materials that replicate the style and function of academic lectures. - Preface
