Working with the human forgetting rates to enhance retention

Breaking the sound barrier – teaching listening bottom-up

After providing a concise account of the way aural input is processed by the human brain and discussing the challenges that L2 comprehension poses to novice-to-intermediate L2 learners, Dr Gianfranco Conti will propose an evidence-based approach to listening instruction he calls L.A.M. (Listening As Modelling).
