Authors : Anissa Khaldi .

Abstract

Lectures are widely used at university. Their comprehension determines, in most cases, success or failure of students. Furthermore, lecture listening is different from other types of listening in terms of organization and the processes required in comprehension. This implies that both lecturers and students should be familiarized with this topic. Therefore, the present article highlights important features of academic lectures with respect to discourse and the different processes underlying comprehension.
