Summary

Motivated by our desire to improve as L2 listening teachers, we engaged in an action research project aiming to develop listening training approaches for their ELF learners. As a follow-up to our presentation, titled Listening strategy training for the English as	a lingua	franca (ELF) classroom, at the CELF-ELTama forum last year, we further developed our series of listening strategy training activities informed by contemporary L2	listening pedagogy research and the needs of our ELF learners. Twelve of these listening activities have been piloted to develop learners’ bottom-up, top-down, and metacognitive processing skills. This interactive talk shared an update on our research, which revealed: (1) gains in students’ listening self-efficacy; (2) increased self-perceptions of their ability to communicate in future ELF interactions; and, (3) the ELF-informed listening strategy training activities were positively reviewed by	147 students from the CELF program. Attendees could take away some ideas for how they can teach listening more effectively in their own English classes.
