Enrollment is now open for a 4-week course called Intermediate Dictations for Debate.
25
152840
6920
02:39
We'll focus on listening comprehension,
26
159840
2700
02:42
but you'll also get vocabulary and writing practice.
27
162540
3940
02:48
Do you know what a dictation is?
28
168300
2420
02:50
That's when I read and you write what you hear. And a debate?
29
170720
5020
02:55
That's a discussion that looks at two opposing viewpoints.
30
175740
4480
03:01
The course will run from October 9th to November 3rd. In this four-week course
31
181600
5980
03:07
you'll have a total of eight short dictations.
32
187580
3760
03:11
That's two dictations a week
33
191340
2720
03:14
When I post a dictation you'll have 24 hours to post what you hear
34
194060
5520
03:20
These short dictations will develop your listening skills, and the process of writing will strengthen your understanding
35
200500
6740
03:27
of grammar and vocabulary.
36
207240
3020
03:30
I'll explain and review key vocabulary for each topic.
37
210920
4660
03:35
I'll ask you to complete one vocabulary exercise each week.
38
215600
6240

My listening tasks will also get you thinking more in English.
39
221840
4520
03:47
Each recording will present a view that you may or may not agree with.
40
227020
5080
03:52
By the end of the week you'll be ready to share your opinion on the topic.
41
232100
5860
03:58
That's when we'll really have fun because we can debate the issue on our private discussion board.
42
238200
6700
04:04
I won't be providing detailed feedback on each individual post,
43

but there will be teacher feedback and you will have interaction with your classmates.
44

Topics include: Should education be free? Should professional athletes earn over a million dollars?
45
255240
7900
04:23
Note there are no live classes for this course because
46
263520
3880
04:27
Simor.org is not a video conference site.
47
267480
3920
04:31
It's set up to be a media rich discussion board.
48
271860
4140
04:36
This means you can easily fit the coursework into your busy day.
49
276480
