This course is designed to help students develop bottom-up processing skills. It focuses on the students’ awareness on language form and that the aim of the class activities is to increase the students’ knowledge of the differences in sounds, structures, and the lexical choices, all of which affect the meaning. The class activities allow the students to work closely on certain segments of texts which are carefully selected by the teachers. The activities also allow the students to listen carefully to how sounds fit together in words, how a certain new word is used and how contextual clues can be used to guess its meaning. Thus, this Intensive Listening course is characterized as listening for precise sounds, words, phrases, grammatical units and specific/detailed information.
