An intermediate
listening
comprehension series
Utilizing
close to 300 minutes of listening practice (3 times more
audio time than most listening programs in the market),
Listen Up offers a unique educational opportunity. Traditionally
listening programs require only that students mimic what
they have heard. While this is important it does not necessarily
promote comprehension or foster the ability to think and
respond creatively in English. Starting with simple words
and phrases, progressing to sentences and paragraphs, and
finally to short passages or reports, Listen Up offers step-by-step
training to help the student comprehend and respond creatively
to what they have just heard.
State
of the art pronunciation practice helps students become
familiar with the most commonly confusing sounds in the
English language. Additionally audio-relevant images help
to create a contextual environment similar to what the student
will encounter in real life. Creative dialogues act out
the everyday situations that the images depict. Four student
CDs are affordably bundled with the textbooks allowing students
to continue listening practice on their own outside the
language lab. Simple and intuitive to use, student response
times for each exercise are taken into account in the audio
program so that the student only needs to push "Play" once.
From there the audio CD/tape will guide them through the
program. This makes Listen Up not only a unique and powerful
classroom tool but also makes it ideal for Self Study.
