To produce the latest “Ease”CD-ROM, helping students wishing to study at an English-speaking university to improve their listening and speaking skills when participating in academic seminars.
Our Solution
Seminar Skills 2: Discussions is an interactive CD-ROM designed to help international students improve their academic discussion skills. The material is based around high-quality digital video recordings of university seminar discussions from a variety of university departments.
There are extracts from lively discussions and debates in the humanities and social sciences, as well as from problem solving seminars in the sciences. This is the ideal resource to help students build their con?dence and prepare themselves for the realities of academic seminars.
Navigating through the material has been made as easy as possible, and the CD contains hundreds of varied exercises to help students learn and practise the kinds of language functions, vocabulary and communicative skills they will need. We have also made sure to provide students with transcripts of all the clips, as well as a cross-referencing dictionary and plenty of useful and informative feedback on the listening tasks.
