Module 5: Developing Self-knowledge of ASEAN

Introduction

One of the major keys to the success of the ASEAN community will be the access and exchange of information. One of the main information sources is web pages, which can include the news on radio or video clips, interviews, keynote speeches in a seminar, panel discussions, lectures, or news breaks.


As countries communicate with each other and advance in unity, keynote speeches or addresses in English at seminars or conferences might be something that professionals will need to listen to and comprehend. They may also need to attend or take part in panel discussions where English will be the key language.


This module will concentrate on improving general listening skills using web sources and content from speeches, panel discussions, and other general cultural areas including different accents of English speakers.
