Teaching Note Taking: A Quasi-Experimental Study #574

Note taking preparation in EAP courses can be crucial for students’ success on study abroad and in EMI courses. Despite positive initial findings, questions remain about whether explicit note taking instruction generates better results than uninstructed practice. This presentation reports on a quasi-experimental study of note taking instruction that involved control and intervention groups at the intermediate and advanced levels. Presentation attendees will learn about a teaching cycle and its effects on note taking ability.
