Listening Strategy Instruction in the Broader Second Language Context

Abstract

This final chapter places this project within a broader context and considers its implications in the field of L2 teaching and learning. In doing so, the scope and purpose of the project, first described in Chapter 1, will be revisited. The limitations of the study, both theoretical and practical, will also be identified and addressed. Key messages and pedagogic implications for a wider audience, beyond those for the local Sakura University context described in Chapter 7, will also be discussed. These main points will then be incorporated to form a model for LSI program design and implementation, which builds on the LSI principles upon which this project was based. Finally, future research directions will be suggested, including those for my own research agenda as well as those for other teacher-researchers and teacher educators.
