MIchael Kimmel on gender equality: Men's Studies perspective

1) Listen to the ted talk without subtitles. Take notes. Remember: the goal is not only to remember the content, but also to work on your language, so I recommend making detailed notes, even if you think you'll remember everything. 

2) If you have difficulty understanding anything - listen again to the problematic part (NO SUBTITLES), if you really don't understand after a few times, turn the subtitles on and check. Then listen again without the subtitles to see if it's clear this time.

3) Write down 7-10 phrases - new to you, or not in your active vocabulary (which means, you understand the phrase, but you never use it yourself)

4) Take notes of terminology relating to gender issues.

4) Practice speaking aloud before class - to yourself, your cat/dog (pets are wonderful listeners! While speaking aloud make sure you use the phrases you have noted down.
