Listening is referred to by many scholars as the most important as well as the most complicated skill in the language, which can cause mental fatigue in the learners. This study was an attempt to investigate the relationship between L2 listening comprehension and listening fatigue among Iranian EFL learners. For this purpose, 86 intermediate and upper-intermediate Iranian EFL learners randomly ...

In two experiments, we assessed the effects of combining different cues of concurrent sound segregation on the object-related negativity (ORN) and the P400 event-related potential components. Participants were presented with sequences of complex tones, half of which contained some manipulation: one or two harmonic partials were mistuned, delayed, or presented from a different location than the ...

Abstract Listening is considered as an important part of communication skills. The listeners have to listen acutely enhance their When listening done consciously the bond improves better among communicators. In order understand any language, one has eavesdrop keenly. At first, when we came into world started and naturally developed our mother tongue. Likewise, maintain good fellow human beings ...

Active listening consists in interacting with the music playing, has numerous applications from pedagogy to gaming, and involves advanced remixing processes such as generalized karaoke or respatialization. To get this new freedom, one might use the individual tracks that compose the mix. While multi-track formats loose backward compatibility with popular stereo formats and increase the file siz...

This paper surveys a collection of sample applications for networked user-centric context-aware embodied music listening. The applications have been designed and developed in the framework of the EU-ICT Project SAME (www.sameproject.eu) and have been presented at Agora Festival (IRCAM, Paris, France) in June 2009. All of them address in different ways the concept of embodied, active listening t...

In this study, we demonstrate a motor induced suppression of the N100 auditory event related potential while using a motor-imagery brain-computer interface with instantaneous auditory feedback of synthesized speech. Specifically, active listening during motor imagery with synthesized speech feedback yielded an N100 response with less magnitude than when listening to synthesized speech alone. Ev...

In learning a new language, there are four macro skills that learner must develop and use: listening, reading, speaking, writing. academic environments such as schools, these taught improved every day to suit the needs of learners. Language learners often trained when or how they should talk; however, seldom listen. This descriptive quantitative study revolved around utility it affects upon acq...
