The Listening Post 1.1

This issue includes a selection of core submissions. Gretchen Clark provides us with a case study of introducing extensive listening into her classroom, which also details learner reactions to extensive listening. Michael McGuire and Jenifer Larson-Hall provide us with research on learners listening to reduced forms in connected speech, a perennial difficulty for teachers and learners. Matthew Wiegand provides a Live Listening: Teaching Report on using active listening exercises created by learners, and Gemma Archer provides a review of John Field’s (2019) Rethinking the Second Language Listening Test.

We would like to thank all our writers for sharing their work with those of us who are intrigued by the listening process. Also, we would like to thank the reviewers for this issue. Your time is important in creating our publication and we appreciate it.

We hope that you find reading the articles as rewarding as we have found it to be when preparing them for this issue.
