KSA EXTENSIVE LISTENING

This Extensive Listening course is designed to expand students’ interests in Listening using authentic and standardized materials frequently used in standardized tests. It is also designed to measure students’ ability to understand short conversations and lectures (long talks) in English that include listening for basic comprehension and pragmatic understanding (speaker’s attitude and degree of certainty) and connecting and synthesizing information. The listening materials are taken from standard paper- and computer-based test books with audio materials. The lectures and conversations use academic-based language that customize the students’ level of ability. 50% of the lectures (including tests) are conducted online via Spada Unram e-learning system, while 50% via class-based WhatsApp group starting from the 29 June 2020 to 14 August 2020. By the end of this course, students are expected to be able to get familiarized and to perfect their ability to understand basic listening comprehension and pragmatic understanding as well as connecting and synthesizing information.
