Listening 1 is a listening course which aims at developing students’ abilities to understand

spoken English, grasp the main ideas in given speeches, answer questions about them and take

down notes of their major aspects. Different types of  situations are provided through

cassettes played in class. Students should be able to follow up with these cassettes and give

answers to various kinds of questions. These include objective questions as well as

information  questions. All required skills for grasping native speakers’ language are taught

throughout the course. For example, students are taught how to observe the pronunciation of

different words as well as identical/similar pronunciations of words, contractions in spoken

language, expressions and idioms used in spoken English as well as words with more than one

meaning in different contexts.
