This book guides language teachers in planning and teaching activities that promote the development of speaking and listening skills at all levels of target language proficiency, for teachers of any modern language.

Kathleen M. Bailey draws on her extensive experience as a language teacher, teacher educator, and language learner to interweave practical activities with the research and theory that support their use. Activities include the use of pictures, songs, drama techniques, tasks, and projects to promote the development of speaking and listening skills. The author shares reflections of her own and encourages readers to reflect on their own experiences and become aware of their existing mental constructs through multiple reflection tasks and discussion questions.

Each chapter provides focusing questions. The systematic chapter structure scaffolds the readers' understanding of the concepts explored, which include communication strategies, interactive and non-interactive listening, speaking anxiety, accentedness and intelligibility, and much more. Through its companion website this book provides access to resources that enable readers to continue their own professional development as teachers of listening and speaking in second and foreign language contexts.

Industry Reviews

Bailey's work on teaching listening and speaking in second and foreign language contexts is a necessary resource for all language teachers. She seamlessly bridges theory and practice throughout, includes numerous examples of language activities that can be immediately implemented in the classroom, and her own personal language learning reflections. * Cathryn Crosby, Associate Professor and TESOL Program Coordinator, Emporia State University, USA *
This book is useful to both language teachers and teacher educators. It is written in an easy-to-read style, combining theories and suggestions that can be applied in teaching listening and speaking. The best part of each chapter lies in the practical activities and reflections that the author shares with readers. * Matilda Wong, Associate Professor, University of Macau, Macau *
