2	Listening comprehension in academic lectures : a focus on the role of discourse markers Smit, Talita Christine 30 June 2006 (has links) Increasing involvement with students at the University of Namibia has indicated their overall difficulty with comprehending and recalling information from oral content lectures. It has also been observed that in general very little attention is given to the development of listening skills in L2 ESP and EAP courses. For this study, I conducted a quasi-experiment to determine whether the recognition and interpretation of discourse markers will enhance students' listening comprehension in academic lectures. Students were tested to determine their comprehension of content information in a video-taped lecture. Qualitative data were collected by means of a questionnaire. After an intervention period of eight weeks, where the experimental group received strategy training in the recognition and interpretation of discourse markers in spoken texts, both groups were again tested. Their results were statistically compared. I also looked at related findings of other researchers. Finally, aspects for possible future research will also be considered. / English Studies / MA - (Specialisation in TESOL) Lecture listening ESL students Discourse markers Cohesion Bottom-up and top-down processes Authentic lectures Note-taking Listening instruction Listening comprehension Listening 420.141 Discourse markers Listening -- Ability testing Lectures and lecturing
