This study sought to examine the effects of pre-listening tasks in promoting the listening comprehension ability of Iranian English foreign language (EFL) learners. To undertake the study, Sixty-three female EFL university students were chosen to engage three task-based activities namely, podcast, video and topic preparation tasks. They were first homogenized by a Cambridge preliminary English test (PET), and then assigned into three groups comprising 21 students in each. The first group was randomly assigned into a podcast, the second group was nominated video-based, and the last group was invited to speak out around the topic. A teacher-made test of listening comprehension was employed to gauge students’ listening performance. Each group was assigned jigsaw and filling the gap task to screen the effect of instruction. After collecting the data, one-way ANOVA and multiple regression analysis were conducted to determine the facilitative task. The results revealed that podcast-based task significantly promotes students’ listening performance ability. This finding suggests that teachers can incorporate podcast as a pre-listening task to foster students’ listening performance. The finding may help EFL teachers and materials developers put more focus on the podcast as a pre-listening task to gain better results in the teaching and learning process.

Three studies were conducted to explore Christians’ beliefs and responses to listening to gossip. This research framed gossip as a co-constructed conversation between speaker and listener. Listening to gossip was examined through the dual lenses of personal goals and societal listening norms. Results revealed that Christians believe listening to gossip is harmful to themselves, the gossip target, and the gossip speaker. And yet, many listen and contribute to gossip. Personal goals for approval and inclusion as well as societal supportive listening norms exert pressure to listen to gossip. When respondents addressed gossip, they tended to do so indirectly.

The concept of personal image is ubiquitous in culture, and hairstyling as a subset serves as a tool for self-expression. Salons, as a venue for this image self-expression, offer insight into a unique practitioner-client dynamic in which the practitioner must empathetically listen as a function of her work, to assist the client in creating this visual form of self-expression. This act of empathetic listening, denoted as commercialized listening, at times requires the practitioner to commit emotional self-suppression in deference to the client’s needs. This self-suppression may extend to the intellectual realm under the “trade professional” paradox in which the practitioner is expected to be educated enough in her trade, but not as educated as the person she services. This self-suppression in exchange for paid work constitutes emotional labor which may bear heavy psychological cost to the practitioner.

The akousmatikoi (ἀκουσματικοί) were the probationary pupils of the philosopher Pythagoras. Akousmatikoi were required to sit in silence while Pythagoras delivered his lecture from behind a screen or curtain. In the “Pythagorean pedagogy, [...] the master provided lessons to his students from behind draped material in order to not distract from the voice and to lend it a rather divine authority” (Pettman, 2011, p. 142). Contemporary communication research has disproven this assumption; body language and eye contact inflect communication, carry important information, and assist in understanding. We would never rob a pupil of visual information on the grounds that it distracts from auditory information. But in this peculiar Pythagorean practice, there are lessons to be learned for listening research. Sound and auditory environment researcher Murray Schaeffer used it as metaphor, inspiring what he calls “acousmatique,” or acousmatic, listening. Below, I will describe the “acousmatic situations” that typify everyday life. Then, I will describe “acousmatic listening” as an intentional practice, one that will enable critical reflection on listening. Finally, I will point toward an increased awareness of place that follows from acousmatic listening, an increased awareness of place that inspires this collection of reflections on ethics, listening and place.

StoryCorps is a nonprofit organization aimed to empower the voices and stories of ‘ordinary’ Americans. Founded by radio producer David Isay in 2003, StoryCorps collaborates with National Public Radio (NPR) and the Library of Congress’s American Folklife Center to provide a public platform for broadcasting and preserving American oral history. The project has collected and archived over 75,000 stories, recounting the everyday places and practices that comprise American life in ordinary and extraordinary ways (StoryCorps, 2018). StoryCorps privileges both storytelling and listening as communicative practices that constructively build human connections. This piece emerges in response to my listening to NPR’s broadcast of StoryCorps segments alongside reading US Poet Laureate and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Smith’s (2015) memoir Ordinary Light.

The Eastern State Penitentiary, located in Philadelphia, was opened for use as a prison in 1829 and closed in 1971. The penitentiary’s early practice of placing all inmates in solitary confinement has often misleadingly been referred to as the “Silent System.” Sounds were present in the penitentiary, but they were carefully controlled and channeled towards the primary goal of the institution: forcing the prisoners to experience true penitence. The sounds that were made audible to the inmates were meant to signal the purpose of their imprisonment. Looms clattered inside cells as inmates were made to weave cloth; alarm bells rang from the central tower, discouraging escape; and perhaps most importantly, the gate clanged shut, symbolizing the permanence of the inmates’ separation from the outside world. My paper reveals that in addition to the manipulation of the inmate’s external soundworld, the prison also attempted to control the sounds inside the inmates’ minds, through encouraging inmates to read the Bible to themselves in their cells. Listening to the Eastern State Penitentiary brings into perspective previously overlooked aspects of the prisoners’ experience at the institution and clarifies how the sonic design of the prison contributed to its goal of reforming the inmates into moral citizens.

The study investigated the relationship between listening and reading vocabularies and their contributions to English listening comprehension of advanced Chinese EFL learners from two universities in China. Measures of reading and listening vocabularies consisted of 5,000 and academic vocabularies. Two tasks involved in the listening comprehension test were gap-filling and multiple-choice. Results showed the moderate correlation between listening and reading vocabularies; Chinese EFL learners’ reading vocabulary knowledge outperformed the listening counterpart. Listening academic vocabulary made a unique contribution to the performance on both the gap-filling task and the entire listening section above and beyond other subcategories of vocabulary. Reading vocabulary was not a predictor of the multiple-choice task. However, the significant effect of reading vocabulary on the gap-filling task suggested that the task might not be an appropriate instrument to assess learners’ listening skill.

Listening in place (This is in differentiation to the notion of space as an abstract dimension such as the cyberspace.) means the locality in which one is listening, a geographically situated place (cf. Stokes, 3). Even though one cannot escape being in a place, one can avoid listening to this place with the use of headphones, which allow to listen to other sound spaces, to be immersed in one’s own audiotopia (cf. Bull, 2011, p. 529). Such audiotopia in fact is the negation of the soundscape of place. When going to the field, the musicologist is listening to the soundscape in place. As a musicologist: what I was doing in Hong Kong was listening in Hong Kong as a place. When, afterwards, I am listening to its recordings, on the contrary, I am listening to Hong Kong as a space, to a memory captured in sound. These distinctions, and the anthropological framework which I use to elaborate them, refine the pedagogical models advanced in “Mediating a Soundwalk: An Exercise in Claireaudience” by Ian Reyes (2012, pp. 98–101). Listening to recordings is fundamentally different from the listening experience in Hong Kong. I believe that knowing and exploring these differences could lead to new techniques of listening, and that is the work of this short essay.

Community-based radio is vitally important to Native Americans in the United States. These radio stations broadcast programs that meet the diverse needs of the communities they serve, such as news about tribal politics, educational programming, programming related to health and other vital aspects of daily living, and perhaps most importantly, programming that seeks to preserve and perpetuate indigenous languages, histories, cultures and values. Reflecting on listening to indigenous radio both tells us more about the ways radio creates community and it tells us more about the diverse cultural positions of indigenous audiences. Through an analysis of listener feedback and related data from two Native-owned community radio stations in Minnesota (KKWE and KOJB), alongside an analysis of my own listening to these stations, I seek to identify the “communities” built by these stations.
