Interactive activities are scarcely held. This article focuses on the application of communicative principles in classroom teaching of listening. The theoretic support for this practice is provided and the conduct of the specific application of communicative principles during the pre-listening, while-listening and post-listening phases in classroom teaching of listening is discussed.展开更多

Interactive listening, based on the idea that listening is real-life communication, has been demonstrated to be a dimension of listening worth teaching. However, no successful classroom interactive listening teaching format has yet been reported, let alone assessed. Based on the models designed by previous researchers, an interactive listening teaching format was designed and trailed a university classroom intervention program in Beijing. In order to do this, it was necessary to construct an objective interactive listening assessment which could measure the listener＇s ability to： （a） negotiate meaning, and （b） to comprehend the speaker＇s messages （Macaro, 2003; Rost, 2002）. To verify its reliability and validity, a standard listening test, the types of negotiation, and selfassessment were also adopted. The results show that compared with traditional listening tests, this interactive listening assessment procedure evaluation of listeners＇ listening skills. provided a more comprehensive and objective展开更多
