38、parate skills. Taking your own notes will promote a deeper understanding of the content of the lecture. How to take notes? The general principle in note-taking is to reduce the language by shortening words and sentences. Today Im going to analyze the four most important of these skills.Firstly, the
39、student has to understand what the lecturer says as he says it. The student cannot stop the lecture in order to look up a new word or check an unfamiliar sentence pattern. This puts the non native speaker of English under a particularly severe strain. Often - as weve already seen in a previous lectu
40、re he may not be able to recognize words in speech which he understands straight away in print. Hell also meet words in a lecture which are completely new to him. While he should, of course, try t9 develop the ability to infer their meaning from the context, he wont always be able to do this success
41、fully. He must not allow failure of this kind to dis courage him however. Its often possible to understand much of a lecture by concentrating solely on those points which are most important. But how does the student decide whats important? This is in itself another skill he must try to develop. It i
42、s, in fact, the second of the four skills I want to talk about today.Probably the most important piece of information in a lecture is the title itself. If this is printed (or referred to) beforehand the student should study it carefully and make sure hes in no doubt about its meaning. Whatever happe
43、ns he should make sure that he writes it down accurately and completely. A title often implies many of the major points that will later be covered in the lecture itself. It should help the student therefore to decide what the main point of the lecture will be.A good lecturer, of course, often signal
44、s whats important or unimportant. He may give direct signals or indirect signals. Many lecturers, for example, explicitly tell their audience that a point is important and that the student should write it down. Unfortunately, the lecturer whos trying to establish a friendly relationship with his aud
45、ience is likely on these occasions to employ a colloquial style. He might say such things as “This is, of course, the crunch“ or “Perhaps youd like to get it down“. Although this will help the student whos a native Englishspeaker, it may very well cause difficulty for the non-native English speaker.
46、 Hell therefore have to make a big effort to get used to the various styles of his lecturers.Its worth remembering that most lecturers also give indirect signals to indicate whats important. They either pause or speak slowly or speak loudly or use a greater range of intonation, or they employ a comb
47、ination of these devices, when they say something important. Conversely, their sentences are delivered quickly, softly, within a narrow range of intonation and with short or infrequent pauses when they are saying something which is incidental. It is, of course, helpful for the student to be aware of this and for him to focus his attention accordingly.Having sorted out the main points, however, t
