ABSTRACT
In this chapter we will further build on the concept of metacognition and demonstrate concretely how to practice it in L2 listening comprehension. We will begin by discussing the development of metacognitive processes, such as planning, monitoring, problem-solving, and evaluation, for listening in real-life listening contexts. We will then demonstrate how these processes can be incorporated into a pedagogical sequence that teachers can use to nurture their development and guide learners through the process of L2 listening. To illustrate the pedagogical sequence in action, we will present a number of different listening activities that focus on the development of the metacognitive processes in a deliberate manner.
