Research Channel

Today's link is called The Research Channel. If you need practice of listening to academic English then this is a good place to start. From the start page make sure you select a subject area which is relevant and interesting for you. At the top you will see that you can select subject areas such as Business and Economics or Science.

Once you find a video which interests you, think about what you are going to do. Remember that the best way to learn is to be active - that means do something! If you sit back, relax and chill out then you will obviously be asleep by the first minute. Remember this is Academic English! Obviously the best thing to do is to practice taking notes, but keep them structured and organised. A good way to see if your notes are any good is to look at them the next day and see if they make any sense. If you have nothing but doodles, you might want to rethink your strategy.
