This book is about developing listening comprehension skills in the language classroom. It is organised into two parts. Part I deals with some essential background issues. It defines the characteristics of real-life listening, analyses the problems encountered by language learners, and discusses the considerations involved in planning successful classroom listening practice. Part II contains a wide variety of exercise types. The activities range in level from elementary to advanced and illustrate techniques appropriate for both adults and children.
