Part of TESOL’s acclaimed New Ways in Teaching series, this volume offers 100+ classroom-tested activities that transform listening into an active, strategic, and collaborative language skill.
New Ways in Teaching Active Listening is a new addition to the popular New Ways series, which offers a collection of innovative, classroom-tested activities for multilingual learners of English, contributed by teachers around the world and organized by theme and ready to adapt to learners’ needs. This volume is a practical collection of learner-centered activities with creative and novel approaches to active listening for skill development. Each activity engages learners in active practices to develop listening skills and aid comprehension.
Because “active listening” is foundational across the field of language acquisition, it has broad adoption potential beyond “listening skills” courses. That makes it relevant not just for ESL instructors, but also in:
- adult education
- teacher preparation programs
- communication and leadership courses
- K–12 content teachers who work with multilingual learners
This book has an online companion site with downloadable resources, additional appendixes, and further reading.
