Workshop "Master Your Academic Listening Skills"

Do you find it hard to understand lectures and presentations in English? Do fast speech and an unknown accent scare you? You cannot fully participate in seminars and discussions because you do not understand everything that your English speaking colleague has said? We will deal with peculiarities of the spoken language, macro- and micro-listening strategies, and note taking techniques. The participants will also have an opportunity to listen to different accents, familiarize themselves with various forms of presentation delivery and reflect on them.
