Dichotic listening (DL) procedures are commonly employed in the evaluation of auditory processing in children. Review of the various clinical tests reveals considerable diversity in both the signals employed and their mode of administration. The extent to which other non auditory-specific factors influence the test outcome is often difficult to determine. Individual differences in memory, atten...

: This study aims to apply active learning in a foreign language context to improve L2 learners’ listening comprehension. Participants in this attempt were 56 EFL learners between 13 and 15 years old. To amass the required data, learners went through a ten-week treatment, in which participants in the experimental group received computer-mediated active learning intervention and...

Empowering or disempowering? It is important to understand that empowerment is not something we can do to others. The concept of empowerment derives from person-centred philosophy, where one of many beliefs of the personcentred practitioner is that human nature is essentially constructive and not destructive (Bozarth et al, 1986) and that so-called destructive behaviour may arise from disempowe...

Improving listening comprehension skill is one of the urgent contemporary educational needs in the field of second language acquisition and metacognitive strategies are proved to help learners manage and self-regulate their listening and overcome deficiencies. Although metacognitive instruction is underscored by previous research, task-based metacognitive instruction is seriously underresearche...

Social media is growing very rapidly in the current era of globalization. This development requires a guide to be able manage flow communication well on social media. In this study, method used honeycomb, what listening? and Daniel Goleman, these three concepts will produce netizen empathy framework Furthermore, research also previous research: Designing Concept Leaderships Intelligence (CI2.1)...

This study investigated the effects of captioned texts on second/foreign (L2) listening comprehension and vocabulary gains using a computer multimedia program. Additionally, it explored the caption ordering effect (i.e. captions displayed during the first or second listening), and the interaction of captioning order with the L2 proficiency level of language learners in listening comprehension a...

Humans benefit considerably from exploiting two ears in everyday listening tasks. It therefore seems to be a promising concept for machine listening approaches to emulate the biological mechanisms of binaural signal processing before applying methods of artificial intelligence. In this work we employ a cross-correlation-based auditory model to automatically perform classification tasks on eleme...

This response highlights the cultural specificity of the ‘work-concept’ and questions the tripartite scheme of listening proposed by John Butt. It offers an alternative set of listening categories, and makes reference to the issues of early-modern class structures and the role of music in religious devotions. The argument is supported by critiques of historical vignettes that include the story ...

For the first time in a generation, basic communication services like sending letters, making phone calls, listening to the radio or watching TV have begun to change, with a migration to email, Internet telephony, Internet radio and TV in various stages. In this white paper, we discuss some of the new services that we envision in a communication environment dominated by the Internet. We first d...

An elderly patient with a relatively severe problem in speech understanding tried out, and rejected, use of a conventional hearing aid. She has accepted, however, and successfully used an assistive listening device (ALD). Her experience highlights the importance of considering trial use of an ALD in the elderly patient who rejects use of a conventional aid.
