LISTENING FOR ACADEMIC PURPOSES

Sinopsis

Listening for Academic Purposes is designed to help learners develop the essential listening skills required for successful participation in academic settings. As listening plays a central role in understanding lectures, discussions, presentations, and academic interactions, this book provides a structured approach to improving comprehension, note-taking, critical thinking, and information processing. The content of this book has been developed based on authentic academic materials, including lecture excerpts, academic talks, and spoken texts commonly found in university contexts. Each unit integrates vocabulary building, practical exercises, and skill-building tasks that encourage learners to become active, strategic, and independent listeners. This book is intended for students, lecturers, and practitioners in English for Academic Purposes (EAP), particularly those preparing for higher education environments where English is the medium of instruction. It can be used as a primary course book or as supplementary material for listening-based courses.
