Teaching and Learning Second Language Listening (ESL & Applied Linguistics Professional Series)

Product Description 
Now in its second edition, this reader-friendly text offers a comprehensive treatment of concepts and knowledge related to teaching second language (L2) listening, with a particular emphasis on metacognition. 
This book advocates a learner-oriented approach to teaching listening that focuses on the process of learning to listen. It applies theories of metacognition and language comprehension to offer sound and reliable pedagogical models for developing learner listening inside and outside the classroom. To bridge theory and practice, the book provides teachers with many examples of research-informed activities to help learners understand and manage cognitive, social, and affective processes in listening. 
Comprehensively updated with new research and references, the new edition includes additional and expanded discussions of many topics, including metacognition in young learners, working memory, and a L2 listening systems model. It remains an essential text on L2 listening pedagogy, theory, and research. 
 Review 
Praise for the First Edition 
“This excellent volume accomplishes exactly the goal that it sets out to achieve… providing a clear and thoughtful reference or textbook for graduate students and teachers of L2 listening alike and making the processes involved in listening and metacognition clear to the readers.” 
Applied Linguistics 
“It is very thorough, and it is based on the authors’ deep knowledge of the field. No stone is left unturned, and in that respect, the book is destined to become a key reference book for professionals in the field of second language acquisition.” 
ELT Journal 
“This comprehensive work delivers what it promises: a thorough examination of listening comprehension, from theory to application, to implementation, and including descriptions of concrete class activities.” 
Modern Language Journal 
“It is a critical and valuable resource for educators who want a deeper understanding of the listening process and are determined to make listening instruction more explicit and meaningful.”

This reader-friendly text, firmly grounded in listening theories and supported by recent research findings, offers a comprehensive treatment of concepts and knowledge related to teaching second language (L2) listening, with a particular emphasis on metacognition. The metacognitive approach, aimed at developing learner listening in a holistic manner, is unique and groundbreaking. The book is focused on the language learner throughout; all theoretical perspectives, research insights, and pedagogical principles in the book are presented and discussed in relation to the learner. The pedagogical model─a combination of the tried-and-tested sequence of listening lessons and activities that show learners how to activate processes of skilled listeners ─ provides teachers with a sound framework for students’ L2 listening development to take place inside and outside the classroom. The text includes many practical ideas for listening tasks that have been used successfully in various language learning contexts.

English as a Second Language

Teaching English to Second Language Learners in Academic Contexts: Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking (ESL & Applied Linguistics Professional Series)

Teaching English to Second Language Learners in Academic Contexts: Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking provides the fundamental knowledge that ESL and EFL teachers need to teach the four language skills. This foundational text, written by internationally renowned experts in the field, explains why skills-based teaching is at the heart of effective instruction in English for academic purposes (EAP) contexts. Each of the four main sections of the book helps readers understand how each skill―reading, writing, listening, and speaking―works and explains what research has to say about successful skill performance. Pedagogically focused chapters apply this information to principles for EAP curriculum design and to instructional activities and tasks adaptable in a wide range of language-learning contexts. Options for assessment and the role of digital technologies are considered for each skill, and essential information on integrated-skill instruction is provided. Moving from theory to practice, this teacher-friendly text is an essential resource for courses in TESOL programs, for in-service teacher-training seminars, and for practicing EAP teachers who want to upgrade their teaching abilities and knowledge bases.
