The Handbook of Second Language Listening
John Wiley & Sons Inc (Verlag)
978-1-394-31234-4 (ISBN)
The Handbook of Second Language Listening provides comprehensive and authoritative coverage of the processes, challenges, and pedagogy of second language (L2) listening. Designed for researchers, teacher educators, and classroom practitioners, this volume presents a systematic examination of how L2 learners perceive and interpret spoken language across diverse contexts and discusses how instruction can better support the listening process.
The Handbook addresses a broad range of topics essential to understanding and teaching L2 listening, including perceptual foundations, the influence of prosody, speech perception, listening assessment, and metacognitive strategy use. Chapters by leading scholars and emerging voices in applied linguistics bridge theory and practice by offering evidence-based insights into listener variability, instructional design, and the interface between listening and pronunciation. This book brings attention to topic areas often overlooked, such as decolonial theory in listening research and the impact of orthography on perception. Equipping educators and scholars with the tools needed to understand L2 listening as both a cognitive process and a teachable skill, the Handbook of Second Language Listening:
Integrates current findings from phonetics, psycholinguistics, and applied linguistics
Connects theoretical models of perception and processing with classroom-based applications
Addresses foundational and emerging topics, from phonetic decoding comprehension of spoken academic discourse
Includes dedicated sections on technology-enhanced assessment and instruction
Covers key pedagogical challenges such as listening in noise, processing of prosody, and strategy instruction
Provides practical frameworks for evaluating and designing L2 listening tasks
The Handbook of Second Language Listening is ideal for graduate-level courses in TESOL and Applied Linguistics, including Second Language Acquisition, Listening Pedagogy, and Language Assessment, which are core to MA TESOL and Linguistics programs. It is also a critical reference for researchers, teacher educators, curriculum designers, and language assessment specialists.
