Motivated by their will to improve as L2 listening teachers, the presenters embarked on a study to develop listening training approaches based on contemporary listening research. They piloted twelve English as a lingua franca-informed listening training activities in their classes at a Japanese university. In this presentation, the authors provided a review of the listening training program for 150 students. Comparisons between pre and post-program listening assessment, student feedback and reflections from the teachers were reviewed to assess the effectiveness of the pilot study.
