Teaching Listening Comprehension is about developing listening
comprehension skills in the language classroom. In Part I, some
essential background issues are dealt with. The author 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. The exercises can be used as they stand or
they can serve as models for teachers who wish to design their own
materials.
