Part I examines what research says about effective listening based on learner strategies and the differences between expert and novice listeners. Part II considers how well teachers' beliefs and practices align with this research. Part III provides practical suggestions for developing learner strategies in listening, including adapting textbooks. The book focuses on teaching languages other than English to non-adult learners but is relevant for various contexts, learners, and audiences like teachers, teacher educators, and researchers.

    4 Strategies for Second Language Listening

    awareness of three key areas, namely: L2 phonetic aspects that cause difficul-
    ties to learners; the differences between expert and novice L2 listening; and
    learner strategies that might support the listening process.

    Structure of the book

    The structure of the book corresponds to our main aims in writing it. Our
    overarching aim is to help teachers teach listening in a more principled way,
    which we approach from three angles: bringing together in an accessible
    format what research says about the underpinnings of effective listening in
    a second language, with a particular focus on the role of learner strategies;
    exploring more fully what teachers do indeed know and understand about
    listening pedagogy and what they actually do in the classroom, as a neces-
    sary precursor to making suggestions for how to address any gaps in teach-
    ers pedagogical understanding and practice; and offering practical activities
    for addressing those gaps.
    As such the book is divided into three parts. Part I considers key issues
    concerning the effective teaching of listening based on recent research find-
    ings, including the role of listening strategies and the extent to which they
    are teachable and worth teaching.
    Part II then considers the extent to which those issues are reflected in
    what teachers believe about how listening should be taught, in what teach-
    ers actually do in the classroom, and in the textbook materials they employ.
    Finally, in Part III we put forward practical suggestions for how learners
    listening might be developed from a learner strategies perspective, including
    how teachers might adapt textbook materials to make them more suitable
    for teaching rather than doing listening.
    The book focuses on a context that has received relatively little attention,
    namely the teaching of languages other than English to learners who are not
    adults, but we hope that the insights it provides will have equal relevance
    for readers working in other contexts, and with a range of learners of dif-
    ferent ages and proficiency levels. Indeed, we consider that the book will
    be of interest to many audiences: teachers wishing to enhance their under-
    standing of listening pedagogy, both from a more theoretical and more
    practical perspective; teacher educators interested in helping the beginning
    and in-service practitioners with whom they work achieve that enhanced
    understanding; and researchers working in the field of second language
    listening pedagogy, for whom the insights into teachers pedagogical beliefs
    and practices will be of particular relevance.
