This course is designed for high-intermediate ESL students who need to develop better listening comprehension and oral skills, which will primarily be achieved by detailed instructions on pronunciation. Our focus will be on (1) producing accurate and intelligible English, (2) becoming more comfortable listening to rapidly spoken English, and (3) learning common expressions, gambits, and idioms used in both formal and informal contexts.

ESL College Transition: Listening & Speaking

We created this site to share the lesson plans and other materials that we use in this Listening/Speaking Level F class with other ESL teachers -- click around and use what works for you! This is a 10-week course at LCC, but you can pick and choose from the 8 chapters for a shorter or longer term. The chapters can be covered in any order.

Lane Community College's Intensive English Language Program offers 6 levels (A=beginner, F=college transition). This site was designed for Listening/Speaking Level F, which is a class that teaches listening and note-taking strategies focused especially on lecture listening, as well as presentation, pronunciation, conversation, and academic discussion skills.

LCC ESL Students in Level F take three separate intensive classes (Writing, Listening/Speaking, and Reading for a total of 20 in-class contact hours per week). Prior to the re-imagining of this class and the creation of this site, each Level F class had a different textbook with different thematic progressions. Students experienced cognitive overload with the demand to learn the vocabulary, concepts, and skills of the three separate classes. In addition, students in our department are often from marginalized backgrounds and can find it financially difficult to purchase the three separate textbooks.

In order to lessen students' financial and cognitive burdens and create more connections between the three classes, we used the topics from the Reading textbook (Academic Encounters Level 4: Reading and Writing, 2nd edition, Cambridge 2014) to find freely-available authentic videos or recorded audio for the Listening/Speaking class.

Over the past year, students have expressed appreciation for the reduced cost of taking the course. In addition, they have shown increased interest and engagement in the course due to the authentic, real-life materials and complementary nature of the three Level F classes.

Speaking for Myself: ESOL Listening, Speaking, and Learning in Community

This material has been used for several years with Intermediate to high Intermediate level students in the Chemeketa Community College ESOL program. It has been sourced and designed in response to feedback from and the changing needs of this community. The students take Listening and Speaking classes twice a week. Each class is an hour and a half twice a week, for a total of six hours’ contact time.

A large part of the course is based on a project based learning approach; at this level, using critical thinking skills, collaboration, and presentation skills enables students to develop and practice skills while seeing tangible results boosts confidence and provides a sense of community. Active learning is also a key component. Students have a voice in the themes, topics, and activities assigned and since all have a wealth of experience in many areas, the presentations and projects are engaging and relevant. Much of the success of projects is based on an expectation that students will work on them outside of class time, and homework
assignments are a regular part of the course.

I’ve designed this course as a set of modules which can be used separately or in conjunction with one another; please feel free to select what works for your class and leave the rest. This course is an Open Education Resource and is under an Open License, which means the material is free, can be copied, shared with others, and adapted. I ask that any instructor who used the material attributes it, but users are free to adapt or build on it to create new material for educational purposes. All material within this resource is open source.

Active listening is more than just hearing someone speak. It requires you to be engaged in the moment, to receive the words and body language of someone else, meaningfully. Only then can you feel empathy for the speaker--that is, try to feel what they’re feeling. In this seminar, you will become familiar with nonverbal listening skills--those strategies that require you to say nothing, yet still be part of the conversation. As you learn more about these non-verbal listening skills, you will begin to classify them into particular situations, understanding when certain gestures might be preferred or not preferred.

In a traditional English Language class of 90 minutes with 50 students , the percentage of time spent by students to speak is too less i-e hardly 45 seconds per student. It reflects very less rather NO practicing time left for students to polish their speaking skills and thus they are left fumbling for words and speak incorrect English.
