ESL faculty at Lane Community College created a textbook-free Listening/Speaking College Transition level class ("Level F" in our department) with a grant from Open Oregon.

Listening/Speaking Level F teaches listening and note-taking strategies focused especially on lecture listening, as well as presentation, pronunciation, conversation, and academic discussion skills (course outcomes here).

We created this site to share the lesson plans and other materials that we use in this Listening/Speaking Level F class with other ESL teachers -- click around and use what works for you! This is a 10-week course at LCC, but you can pick and choose from the 8 chapters for a shorter or longer term. The chapters can be covered in any order.
