Academic Workshop 1： Listening: Listening for Freshmen: Surviving English Lectures

Workshop Descriptions: 

In the diverse academic landscape, college students often encounter challenges in developing proficient listening skills, particularly in English lecture settings. Additionally, with the increasing importance of global communication, English has become a critical component of academic and professional success. To address these needs, we propose implementing a Listening and Language Learning Support Workshop for college students seeking to improve their listening comprehension and language proficiency. This workshop aims to help university students improve their listening and note-taking skills for the purpose of listening to academic lectures. Students will learn techniques for improving their understanding and skills for taking more effective notes, with hands-on practices.
