English for Academic Success

Dedicated to meeting the academic needs of low-intermediate-level students, this book teaches students how to comprehend the spoken English used by instructors and students in college classrooms.

The first book in the four-book Oral Communication strand of the Houghton Mifflin English for Academic Success series, College Oral Communication 1 helps students become familiar with academic topics, concepts, and vocabulary; learn academic skills and strategies; acquire the skills needed to ask appropriate-level questions; develop note-taking strategies; participate effectively in academic situations, such as discussions, lectures, study groups, and office meetings; and use information from spoken presentations and notes for academic tasks such as tests or small group discussions. Engaging activities throughout the text help students practice both academic listening and academic speaking.
