Literature Surveys, Methodology Recounts and Research Reports are types of writing which enable you to develop your academic skills, so that you can learn how to become a researcher in your field. Researchers must know what other researchers have written, so they must survey the literature in a Literature Survey. They also gather data and conduct experiments of various types, and they recount their research methods. Lab Reports are a type of Methodology Recount, for example. When students conduct a complete piece of research, with a literature review, a report on the research they have conducted, and an evaluation of its significance, we call this a Research Report. Theses and dissertations are types of Research Report; they are rather like research articles in academic journals.
The Primary Purpose of this important category of writing is Building Research Skills.

Hi SyedFareenShah,
The text on this page is quite short, but you could certainly use it as a resource to develop your listening. We also have extensive materials for improving your listening under Listen & Watch. There you'll find several different series of videos and podcasts with transcripts and exercises.
Best wishes,
