Summary: | According to DeCarrico and Nattinger (1988, p. 91), comprehension of academic lectures by non-native speakers has long been a neglected problem and has only recently been seriously addressed. To explore this phenomenon, a spoken academic corpus of Malaysian engineering lectures is being developed and analysed by a group of researchers in Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. One of the aims of this endeavour is to offer engineering students with strategies in listening to and learning from lectures effectively. To this end, the moves of engineering lecture introductions and the steps used in each of the moves are identified and presented in this paper. (C) 2012 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
