Abstract
Listening can generally be divided into two types. One-way listening, such as listening to the radio, and reciprocal listening - listening where there is the opportunity for speaker and listener to exchange roles. Commercially available listening materials for intermediate and advanced learners are regrettably not focusing on reciprocal listening skills. These skills enable the listener to grasp the information of the utterance correctly, to understand the speaker's intended meaning and to formulate the appropriate response. Therefore we have designed listening material through which learners can develop and hone reciprocal listening skills by practicing the integrated listening and speaking tasks.
