READING SKILLS in INTERMEDIATE LEVEL(15–21)

Read as much and as often as possible.
Study the organization of academic texts and overall structure of reading
passages. Read an entire passage from beginning to end.

■ Pay attention to the relationship between the main ideas and the
supporting details.

■ Outline the text to test your understanding of the structure of the
reading passage.

■ Write a summary of the entire passage.
▶ If the text is a comparison, be sure that your summary reflects that.
If the text argues two points of view, be sure both points of view
are reflected in your summary.
Continually expand your vocabulary by developing a system for recording
unfamiliar words.

■ Group words according to topic or meaning and study the words as a
list of related words.

■ Study roots, prefixes and suffixes; study word families.

■ Use available vocabulary resources, such as a good thesaurus or a
dictionary of collocations (words commonly used together).

LISTENING SKILLS in INTERMEDIATE LEVEL (14 – 21)

Practice listening in English daily. Gradually increase the amount of time
that you spend listening, the length of the listening selections and the diffi
culty of the material.

■ Listen to different kinds of materials on a variety of topics:
▶ Start with familiar topics; then move to topics that are new to you.
▶ Listen to audio and video material on tape/DVD or recorded from
TV, radio and the Internet.
▶ Listen to programs with academic content, such as NOVA, BBC and
NPR broadcasts.
▶ Listen to conversations and phone recordings.

■ Listen actively:
▶ Take notes as you listen for main ideas and important details.
▶ Ask yourself about basic information (Who? What? When? Where?
Why? How?).
▶ Make predictions about what you will hear next.
▶ Summarize.
▶ Write down new words and expressions.

■ For more difficult material, listen several times:
1. First listen with English subtitles, if they are available;
2. Then, without subtitles, listen for the main ideas and key details;
3. Then listen again to fill in gaps in your basic understanding and to
understand the connections between ideas, the structure of the talk
and the speakers’ attitude.
