Listening is now regarded by researchers and practitioners as a
highly active skill involving prediction, inference, reflection,
constructive recall, and often direct interaction with speakers. In
this new theoretical and practical guide, Michael Rost and JJ
Wilson demonstrate how active listening can be developed through
guided instruction. With so many new technologies and platforms for
communication, there are more opportunities than ever before for
learners to access listening input, but this abundance leads to new
challenges: how to choose the right input how to best use listening
and viewing input inside and outside the classroom how to create an
appropriate syllabus using available resources Active Listening
explores these questions in clear, accessible prose, basing its
findings on a theoretical framework that condenses the most
important listening research of the last two decades. Showing how
to put theory into practice, the book includes fifty innovative
activities, and links each one to relevant research principles.
Sample audio recordings are also provided for selected activities,
available online at the series website
www.pearsoned.co.uk/rostwilson. As a bridge between theory and
practice, Active Listening will encourage second language teachers,
applied linguists, language curriculum coordinators, researchers,
and materials designers to become more active practitioners
themselves, by more fully utilising research in the field of second
language listening.
