Description

The Academic Encounters series uses a sustained content approach to teach skills necessary for taking academic courses in English. There are two books for each content area. Academic Listening Encounters: Human Behavior engages students through interviews and academic lectures on stimulating topics from the fields of psychology and communications. Topics include stress and the immune system, intelligence testing, friendship, and love. Students practice crucial listening skills, such as listening for main ideas and listening for implied information. They also practice note-taking skills, discuss content, conduct interviews, and make presentations. A Student Audio CD with the lecture portion of the audio program is included. Topics correspond with those in Academic Encounters: American Studies. The books may be used independently or together.
