This book challenges the traditional approach to teaching listening in a second language, which focuses primarily on asking and answering comprehension questions. The author argues that this focus is too much on the final answers and too little on the actual listening process. By providing in-depth insight into the psychological processes involved in listening comprehension and by analyzing the characteristics of the speech signal, this book offers a novel alternative to the traditional comprehension approach. It proposes intensive, small-scale exercises that focus on the aspects of listening that are cognitively or perceptually demanding for students. "Listening in the Language Classroom" won the Ben Warren International Trust House Prize in 2008. Intertaal is your reliable supplier, guaranteeing fast delivery of this valuable learning method.
