Listen & Listen
Listen & Listen is intended to improve students' listening
skills in American English. We will practice understanding not only
everyday conversational language but also certain informational
English such as news, documentary TV programs, etc.
This listening class will be conducted mostly in English. Students
will be encouraged to exchange their ideas with each other in English.
They will be expected to participate in class activities such as
cloze exercises, role plays, comprehension questions, discussions,
pair work, etc.
Since listening contains several elements such as listening to conversations,
monologues, informational language, social language, short and long
periods of listening, etc., this course has been designed to provide
different listening material each day from Monday through Friday.
Through this variety of listening material, it is expected that
students will develop strategies to listen effectively to various
listening situations.

This course is targeted at students who have learned grammar but
