Academic Encounters helps ESL/ EFL students develop the reading, writing and study skills they need to meet the demands of college courses. The raedings, atken from university-level textbooks, explore high-interest topics such as stress and physical health, nonverbal communication, and love, engaging students in teh subject matter while exposing them to academic discourse. The major emphasis in the book is on the development of effective raeding skills: previewing text, skimming, reading for the main idea, reading for speed, and understanding vocabulary in context. Additional exercises develop study skills including highlighting key points, preparing for tests, summarising as an aid to understanding, and note-taking. For those instructors who want to use the content as a jumping off point for longer writing assignments, numerous opportunities are provided. Prereading and postreading activities involve discussion, role-playing and problem-solving, in order to maximize student interaction.ISBN 9788175963528
