Historically, English language teachers have not been trained in
how to effectively teach authentic listening. Consequently, they
avoid using authentic recordings with their students. In addition,
the scripted and graded recordings used to model new language
(lexis and grammar) in coursebooks are very different from the
spontaneous spoken English students encounter beyond the ELT
classroom. We are currently doing our students a huge disservice in
not training them to cope with authentic speech. This is what the
author seeks to remedy in Integrating Authentic Listening into the
Language Classroom. Creating a methodology book like this, which
leads the field in terms of providing the theory behind listening
to spoken English in addition to practical guidance and useful
examples, means readers will benefit from learning the theory
behind using authentic listening and then understand the need to
integrate authentic listening in their classrooms. It will equip
readers with the knowledge and skills to use authentic recordings
in the classroom. This will enable new and experienced teachers to
give excellent foolproof listening lessons using authentic
recordings. They can motivate their students, equipping them to
cope with listening to spontaneous spoken English beyond the
classroom. The book contains 28 easy-to-digest chapters and aims to
be accessible for both new and experienced teachers. It contains
tried-and-tested decoding and comprehension activities that work in
the ELT classroom. The examples and anecdotes given make the
activities relatable to a wide range of teaching contexts. It also
contains additional transcripts referred to in the main body of the
book, a glossary of key terms, references and an index. This title
is part of the Teaching English series, which offers a mixture of
methodology and practical ideas for teachers of English as a
foreign language.
