Listen and Chat – Science uses interviews from The Naked Scientists podcast to provide:
- English listening and speaking practice on new discoveries in the world of science
- Input on conversational/academic/technical vocabulary
- Input on connected speech features used by speakers of a variety of accents
- Structure, ideas and support for independent language learning
Here’s what past students have said about Listen and Chat – Science:
- “First, the interviews were interesting. Second, the workshop is organised very well. Third, the group members are nice.”
- “I think this workshop is really successful. Every week we have a new article/dialogue to hear and discuss with our partners. In addition to this the teacher would be very nice to correct my speaking errors and suggest some weak forms and linking.”
- “It is useful for me to improve my listening. Some linking, weak forms and contractions which were ignored by me.”
- “I found many interesting things that I didn’t know before. It involves listening as well as speaking skills. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity to study English and to have fun in the same time.”
- “This was a very good workshop. It had a very clear focus. The class materials are good and suitable for self-practice after class. The atmosphere was very good too.”
