I would like you to work with two pieces of news from the following website http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/newsenglish/.
Choose Concentrating solar power (April 2008) and Reports from 2006 (Response to Pinochet death, December 2006). Both of these articles have audio material.
Listen to them and transcribe the texts with the aid of the Pronunciation Dictionary.
Listening is a demanding skill. A good listener needs to be able to draw on a range of skills, including:
- Listening for general meaning.
- Listening for specific information.
- Coping with unknown vocabulary.
- Predicting what is going to be said next.
- Using prior knowledge to aid understanding.
- Coping with different accents. Furthermore, audio will help you improve pronunciation and practise phonetics using the IPA.
Thanx
Susan
