Teaching Second Language Listening

A guide to adapting, creating, and evaluating listening tasks for ELT/ESL teachers

Based on research findings, classroom discourse, and learners' insights, this guide explains listening processes and how to integrate listening with other skills.How can we use our understanding of the process of listening to help our students to become better listeners? How can we be sure that the listening tasks we use are worthwhile? In Teaching Second Language Listening, Tony Lynch uses listening lesson transcripts and sample listening activities to set out the principles of successful listening teaching. He ties this in with an up-to-date survey of listening research.
