Examines listening as both a means of achieving understanding and as a teachable skill. The underlying theme of the volume is that an integration of cognitive, social, and educational perspectives is necessary in order to characterise effectively what listening ability is and how it may develop. It introduces listening from a cognitive perspective, and presents a detailed investigation of listening in social and educational contexts. The study concludes with an analysis of how listening development can be incorporated effectively into curriculum design.

listening skills development: from theory to practice,
By
This review is from: Listening in Language Learning (Applied Linguistics & Language Study) (Paperback)
Listening in Language Learning is probably the most authorative and comprehensive text about listening in a second language that has ever been written with both the applied linguist and language teacher in mind. It covers auditory perception of linguistic processing, including lexical, syntactic and schematic effects, learner inference, collaborative and non-collaborative listening skills and strategies, developing and assessing listening skills, and the placing of listening in a language curriculum. This book may not be the ideal choice for a teacher new to EFL, as there is rather a lot of specialist terminology - so much to the extent that at times I felt that I was reading a linguist's learner dictionary. What I liked best about this book is that it allowed me to focus more clearly and scientifically on creating and evaluating listening tasks for my high school teaching situation, and for that reason alone, the book was worth buying.
