SPLIS Webinar: Re-Conceptualizing the Materials English Language Development Teachers Use

Re-Conceptualizing the Materials English Language Development Teachers Use to Design Listening Experiences for University-bound Multilingual Scholars

Webinar hosted by the TESOL Speech, Pronunciation, and Listening Interest Section (SPLIS)

Listening is a complex process for both monolingual and bilingual scholars. However, a lack of awareness regarding its complexity may explain why it is often overlooked or under-addressed in the second language (L2) teaching materials. This webinar reports on an intensive investigation into the ways listening, the L2 skill researchers view as the least understood and the least practiced (Field, 2019; Graham, 2017; Graham, Santos, & Francis-Brophy, 2014; Siegel, 2016; Vandergrift & Goh, 2012), received pedagogical attention in a North American intensive English program that prepares university-bound multilingual scholars for in English as a Medium of Instruction contexts. Participants will learn how a listening experience is defined and how current listening materials contribute towards the various strands of a listening experience that English language development teachers both consider and have yet to consider in their applied practice as they prepare scholars for various communicative contexts.
