Essential insights and strategies for teaching and researching second language listening comprehension skills

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.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

The Handbook of Second Language Listening provides a comprehensive, research-based examination of how learners perceive, process, and understand spoken language in a second or additional language. As global communication increasingly relies on multilingual interaction, effective listening is essential, not only for comprehension, but also for language development, academic success, and professional integration.

This volume brings together leading voices in applied linguistics, phonetics, and language pedagogy to address the core cognitive and perceptual mechanisms that support L2 listening. Topics include the role of speech perception, the influence of prosody and phonetic detail, the challenges of comprehension in noisy environments, and the impact of listening strategy use. This valuable work also explores how listening is taught and assessed, offering practical approaches grounded in current theory. Emerging areas of focus, such as decolonial theory, technology-mediated instruction, and multimodality, provide valuable new insights for both researchers and practitioners.

The Handbook of Second Language Listening is designed for a wide audience of applied linguists, TESOL professionals, and teacher educators, as well as graduate students in MA and PhD programs in Applied Linguistics, TESOL, and Language Education. It is also an essential reference for curriculum developers, testing specialists, and language instructors seeking to deepen their understanding of second language listening and its implications for teaching and research.
