Academic Encounters: Human Behavior helps students develop the
reading, writing, and study skills needed to meet the demands of
college courses in an English-speaking environment. The readings,
taken from university-level textbooks, treat high-interest topics
such as stress and physical health, nonverbal communication, and
love. These topics engage students in the subject matter while
exposing them to academic discourse. This book contains exercises
that develop reading skills such as skimming, reading for the main
idea, reading for speed, and understanding vocabulary in context.
While completing writing assignments of different lengths, students
respond to the readings and incorporate what they have learned.
Study skills, such as summarizing, note taking, highlighting key
points, and test preparation are also taught. |
