摘要：Listening Myths is part of a Myth series of the University of Michigan Press. All of the titles in this series purport to nominate and discuss a topic of teacher interest—two examples are vocabulary and writing—and to connect second language research on that topic to classroom teaching. The purpose of this book on listening is to allow the author to have an informed but informal conversation with a reader, who is assumed to be a ESL or EFL classroom teacher who would like to know more about listening, who might be interested in applying some of the research in a classroom situation, and perhaps might even be interested in engaging in listening research. I judge Brown to be successful.
