    Abstract
    This chapter starts by mentioning the drawbacks of the approach conventionally adopted in L2 listening instruction – in particular, its focus on the products of listening rather than the processes that contribute to it. It then offers an overview of our present understanding of what those processes are, drawing upon research findings in psycholinguistics, phonetics and Applied Linguistics. Section 2 examines what constitutes proficient listening and how the performance of an L2 listener diverges from it; and Section 3 considers the perceptual problems caused by the nature of spoken input. Subsequent sections then cover various areas of research in L2 listening. Section 4 provides a brief summary of topics that have been of interest to researchers over the years; and Section 5 reviews the large body of research into listening strategies. Section 6 then covers a number of interesting issues that have come to the fore in recent studies: multimodality, levels of listening vocabulary, cross-language phoneme perception, the use of a variety of accents, the validity of playing a recording twice, text authenticity and listening anxiety. A final section identifies one or two recurring themes that have arisen, and considers how instruction is likely to develop in future.
