this blog is designed to improve your listening/reading, vocabulary and pronunciation skills all at the same time. You are going to choose words from the VOA specialenglish website, from an article of your interest. This way you build vocabulary specifically related to your interest or department.
The first results of the vocabulary blog project were presented at the FELT conference in 2009. Those students who published regularly improved their vocabulary a great deal!
IMPORTANT LISTENING TIPS
- Listen every day at least for 5 minutes. Acquiring listening skills is like preparing to run for a marathon. It takes a long time and needs regular training.
- Don't worry if you don't understand everything - a few words is already great!
