Classwork

• Returned extensive listening homework with these 3 comments:

1. Remember to listen to the news. You are required to listen to 30 minutes of news (e.g., ABC, CNN, FOX, etc.) for each yellow handout. Many students are listening to only university lectures and TED lectures.
2. If you listen to a recording 2x, I will give count half of the minutes for the second listening. For example, if you listened to a 40 minute lecture twice, I would give you credit for 60 minutes. However, you must write on your paper that you listened two times, or I will never know.
3. You do not need to write a summary. I want you to take notes as you would in a college class or for a test. The purpose is to build your note-taking, not summary skills.

• Reviewed your citizenship and proficiency grades. Remember citizenship must be over 84% at the end of the semester to remain at the ELC. For your proficiency grade, the score shows only your listening scores, many of which were not high. We will work on question types and other skills to improve this.
• Listened to the radio broadcast of Maya Angelou. Answered the questions in Ex. B, Listening for Main Ideas, on p. 155.

Homework

• Extensive Listening for Chapter 5 (yellow handout). Due on Wed, June 29. Don't forget my comments above.
