Does Research Have a Role in “Improving Language Learners' Accuracy
and Proficiency”? What Kind of Research?
Few L2 practitioners doubt the value of “evidence based” or “research based”
language instruction, in principle. But few can cite the research behind many
of the instructional decisions they make, and fewer keep up with the research
literature – even when they have done a research degree. My plenary
presentation will look at why research is not taken seriously in frontline ESL
or FSL, and what failure to take it seriously costs us. It will argue that an
“applied applied linguistics” is yet to emerge and describe what this would
look like.

Facilitating Language Learning: Developing Smart Listeners
This talk will inform teachers on how they can help students become
successful listeners by putting more emphasis on the process of listening
rather than just the product (i.e., the correct answer) alone. Participants will:
• review research related to comprehension processing and the critical
role of metacognition in the process;
• learn to help students plan, monitor, problem-solve and evaluate as
they engage in listening tasks; in other words, help students learn how
to regulate the comprehension processes; and,
• examine and evaluate a few listening tasks that lead students through
the process of listening and develop listener metacognition.
In sum, participants will gain an enlarged view of what it means to teach
listening comprehension and, thereby, help students learn to listen so that
they can better listen to learn.
