	Listening In The Language Classroom by John Field
	Price : Rs 340.00
	Your Price : Rs 278.80

This book challenges the orthodox approach to the
teaching of second language listening, which is
based upon the asking and answering of
comprehension questions. It critically examines the
practices and assumptions associated with this
approach and suggests ways of revising them. The
main argument of the book is that a preoccupation
with the notion of `comprehension` has led the
teacher to focus upon the product of listening in the
form of answers to questions, and to ignore the
listening process itself. It therefore provides an
informed account of the psychological processes
which make up the skill of listening, and analyses in
depth the characteristics of the speech signal from
which a listener has to construct a message.
Drawing upon this information, the book proposes a
radical alternative to the comprehension approach,
one which targets aspects of listening that are
perceptually or cognitively demanding for the learner
and provides for intensive small-scale practice in
them. The book contains detailed examples of
possible exercise types.
