A Syllabus for Listening: Decoding is for teachers, teacher trainers, textbook and course book authors in English language teaching (ELT). This book will help you add a decoding dimension to all your listening activities, which means that your students will be better prepared for real-world spontaneous speech encounters. If you are designing a listening course, or writing listening exercises for a course book, this is essential reading. There are four parts.
  • Decoding and Perceptionpresents key ideas which are essential to understanding why the teaching and learning of listening needs to be improved.
  • A Critique of Training, Theory and Practice presents a critical analysis of conventional approaches to listening in teacher training and the ELT classroom.
  • A Syllabus for Listening presents specific items for the syllabus, including word clusters, streamlining processes and, crucially, ear-training.
  • Education, Tools and Activities describes innovative classroom activities for teaching decoding: exploiting recordings and classroom language, using pen-and-paper prompts, together with the voices of teachers and learners.

  • To inspire ELT, another original book from a pioneer of teaching listening. Alice Henderson, Associate Professor of English, Universit Savoie Mont Blanc, France
  • Interesting and challenging ideas that will stir up your views on listening. Martin Hewings, author of English Pronunciation in Use: Advanced.
