“…Finally, it opens a space for listening to more authentic materials as opposed to artificially controlled audios from commercially produced textbook series. These and other benefits have been confirmed by different empirical studies (Dupuy, 1999;Ewert & Mahan, 2012;Yeh, 2013).…”

The current paper reports an experience implementing a small-scale narrow listening scheme (one of the varieties of extensive listening) with intermediate learners of English as a foreign language in a Colombian university. The paper presents (a) how the scheme was designed and implemented, including materials and procedures (the process); (b) how the students performed in the different activities with an emphasis on time spent watching/listening and their perceptions of video difficulty and self-rated comprehension (the product); and (c) how the students felt and viewed the experience (perception). Product and perceptions showed that the pedagogical implementation was positive which leads to a discussion of a number of implications for this context and similar ones.

“…Schmidt-Rinehart (1994) found that repetition of the listening passage increased listening comprehension test scores in a study of Spanish learners. Other researchers, including Berne (1995) Chambers (1996), and Dupuy (1999), noted similar findings. Cervantes and Gainer (1992) also concluded that repetition of the listening passage was a factor in the increased comprehension of EFL students in Japan.…”

The Effect of Prelistening Activities on Listening Comprehension in Arabic Learners

This study evaluated the effect of prelistening activities and repeated listening exposure on listening comprehension scores of Arabic students. Participants completed a prelistening activity (vocabulary preview or question preview) or a distracter activity (Arabic verb conjugation), listened to an Arabic listening passage, and took a listening comprehension test. Participants listened to the passage again and repeated the test. Students who completed either prelistening activity scored higher than those who completed the distracter activity; participants who received the question preview did better than those who received the vocabulary preview. All participants' scores improved after the second exposure to the listening passage. These findings suggest that while certain prelistening activities have a positive impact on student scores on tests of listening comprehension, repeated exposure to the passage is a better predictor of improved performance.

“…Although Dupuy (1999) assumes that listening to audio records performed by high proficient speakers in leisure times is effective in the development of skills in second language learning, she did not define the qualification of leisure time. For example, the time while driving a car, reading a book or even the time spent while sleeping can be considered as a leisure time, and listening can be performed in such times as well.…”
