Description

Sponsored by Atama-ii Books

This workshop examines how different models of listening input can shape communication outcomes in Japanese university EFL classrooms. We will explore the strengths and limitations of Authentic, AI-generated, and Scripted / Human-Acted listening models in this context, considering how these choices affect learners’ ability to participate in meaningful interaction. Through guided analysis and group discussion, participants will evaluate practical ways to design listening activities that balance accessibility with authentic communicative use.
