Teaching ESL/EFL Listening and Speaking (ESL & Applied Linguistics Professional Series)
Using a framework based on principles of teaching and learning, this guide for teachers and teacher trainees provides a wealth of suggestions for helping learners at all levels of proficiency develop their listening and speaking skills and fluency. By following these suggestions, which are organized around four strands – meaning-focused input, meaning-focused output, language-focused learning, and fluency development – teachers will be able to design and present a balanced program for their students.
Teaching ESL/EFL Listening and Speaking, and its companion text, Teaching ESL/EFL Reading and Writing, are similar in format and the kinds of topics covered, but do not need to be used together. Drawing on research and theory in applied linguistics, their focus is strongly hands-on, featuring
- easily applied principles,
- a large number of useful teaching techniques, and
- guidelines for testing and monitoring.
All Certificate, Diploma, Masters and Doctoral courses for teachers of English as a second or foreign language include a teaching methods component. The texts are designed for and have been field tested in such programs.

A must-buy for all ESL/EFL teachers
By Monica M. Roberts - April 1, 2009This book is very cool for ESL/EFL teachers of all backgrounds because the language has been kept simple and is free from academic jargon. I read it from cover-to-cover and will use it to plan lessons in an English language school in Japan. I lent this book to a friend at a Japanese university and he found it very useful too. His colleagues gave him good feedback on it - a couple of them occasionally grab it to gain quick ideas for lessons that require little planning and few resources. This book is unlike many practical listening and speaking textbooks because it is based on sound ESL/EFL theory. It is also unlike many academic textbooks because it contains lots of practical suggestions. The balance between theory and practice is nice. I can`t wait to get the accompanying reading and writing book.
A relatively useful guide to listening/speaking activities
By S MacLeod "newzild" - June 16, 2011This book and its companion volume (Teaching ESL/EFL Reading and Writing) were the core texts of two courses I took for my MA Applied Linguistics. The central tenet of the books is that EFL/ESL classroom learning should consist of equal amounts of the "four strands" of language learning - meaningful input, meaningful output, fluency, and direct attention to language items.
Compared with the other required texts I read while completing my MA, this book is highly pedagogically relevant (ie: some of the suggestions appear to be actually useful for classroom teachers).
The book contains a lot of suggestions for teachers in terms of tasks and activities. It gives a brief description of the research that underpins the suggestions and also suggests further reading material that might prove useful for writing essays and assignments at university level.
Having said that, I have found that I've used very few of the suggestions in my job as an EFL teacher at a... read more
Excellence in Teaching ESL/EFL Listening and Speaking
By L. G. Sincebaugh "reader in seoul" - August 6, 2010I bought this book because I had previously bought Nation's book, How to Teach Vocabulary, which is how I found out about this book. This book is a welcome anomaly, because it is very well written, and it clearly interrelates and explains a great deal of the theory behind the teaching suggestions as well as how to apply the theories in terms of the techniques, which I imagine Nation and his students spent a great deal of time coming up with, trying out and fine tuning. Nation organized this book around the four strands, as he calls them, which are the "parts and goals of a speaking course:" Meaning-focused input: Learning through Listening and Reading, Meaning-focused Output: Learning through Speaking and Writing, Language-focused Learning, and Becoming Fluent in Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing. The four strands is a refreshing and different way of approaching language teaching and learning, which I think if you take the time to read carefully and to apply, that this book... read more
