Researching Listening Outcomes SECTION IV: RESOURCES Resources for Teaching Listening Resources for Researching ListeningReviews"“In this fourth edition of his already widely admired book on listening, Michael Rost has greatly extended the boundaries of previous work, focusing on new areas such as neuroscience, the use of AI in instruction, and the implementation of research in teacher education. Undoubtedly, researchers, teacher educators and teachers alike will be inspired by such an authoritative resource.” Anne Burns, University of New South Wales, Sydney, and Curtin University, Perth, Australia “Teaching and Researching Listening provides a comprehensive, engaging account of listening which updates our understanding of key concepts and issues and explores the impact of important new developments such as AI. Its focus on both theory and practice makes it an ideal resource for teacher educators, language teachers and researchers.” Neil Murray, University of Warwick, UK “Michael Rost is a proven expert in the field of listening. His latest book is a tour-de-force. It offers a comprehensive and accessible account of listening in a second language from the perspectives of theory, pedagogy and research. This is a must-have book, which I know I will be referring to for years to come.” Rod Ellis, Curtin University, Perth, Australia “The new edition of Michael Rost’s book on listening is carefully crafted, addressing crucial issues and presenting innovative ideas in this relatively under researched area. The author adeptly navigates readers through logically structured chapters, seamlessly blending theory with practice. This approach makes the book a must-read for both teachers and researchers.” Istvan Kecskes, State University of New York, Albany, USA “Teaching and Researching Listening is the most comprehensive textbook on second language listening available today. This indispensable resource has something of value for experienced academics, graduate students, and researchers in the field of second language listening given its up-to-date treatment of theory, pedagogy, and research into the complex skill of listening comprehension.” David Beglar, Temple University, Japan “In the fourth edition of this classic, Rost once again authoritatively covers the many dimensions of listening for language teachers, researchers, and app developers. The content ranges from foundations in neuroscience, language processing, and acquisition to the more practical domains of language teaching and assessment. Comprehensive and comprehensible, if you have just one book on listening in a second language, this should be it.” Philip Hubbard, Stanford University, USA “This book has been incredibly important for L2 listening researchers and teachers since the first edition was published over 20 years ago. What’s special about it is that it is aimed at both researchers AND teachers, and Rost makes the information in the book accessible and relevant for practitioners, students, and researchers (not an easy task!).” Elvis Wagner, Temple University, USA “In the 4th edition of Teaching and Researching Listening, Michael Rost provides a comprehensive and insightful exploration of the complexities of listening in second language acquisition (SLA) and teaching. This important work integrates research from linguistics, SLA, language teaching and technology, and offers valuable guidance for language educators and researchers. I recommend the book to language educators, researchers, and anyone interested in the intricacies of listening in SLA and communication.” Vahid Aryadoust, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore “This revised edition of Michael Rost’s now seminal book on teaching and researching is a must-read for anyone interested in second language listening. With a firm grounding in theory and research, it provides a thorough and engaging introduction to the study of listening, reflecting current advances in the fields of neuroscience, linguistics, technology, and language teaching.” Andrea Révész, University College London, UK Praise for the Third Edition: ""This book is the most comprehensive reference on L2 listening to date and is an invaluable resource for graduate students and academics. Rost offers his interpretation of theories and works that have defined and established the field, along with insights drawn from latest research to move it forward."" Christine C. M. Goh, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore" "“In this fourth edition of his already widely admired book on listening, Michael Rost has greatly extended the boundaries of previous work, focusing on new areas such as neuroscience, the use of AI in instruction, and the implementation of research in teacher education.
