Skills in English Listening Level 2 Course Book The Garnet Education Skills in English series was highly commended in the Duke of Edinburgh English Speaking Union English Language Book Award in 2004. Do you have to listen to lectures in English as part of your studies? Then you need Skills in English Listening. This course builds the skills that help you survive in the lecture room. At Level 2, you learn how to: * recognise the main idea; * understand signpost words and phrases; * understand statistics; * identify important information; * make low-level inferences from context; * listen for gist and tolerate ambiguity; * understand comparisons; * take notes from spoken language; * complete an outline; * and identify and write summaries. As well as preparing students for entry into English-medium study, the Skills in English Course is ideal for students who wish to improve their scores in skills-based examinations for university entry requirements, such as the International English Language Testing System (IELTS). Rather than focusing on exam preparation, Skills in English teaches the necessary skills as part of a systematic programme of language development.
