The aim of this two-day seminar was to bring together researchers working on listening in different areas of education and to form networks for future research projects. This report gratefully acknowledges the input of our seminar co-organisers Richard Badger and Goodith White, of the School of Education, University of Leeds. There were fourteen contributions: three one-hour keynote talks and eleven half-hour participatory sessions. The seminar also featured a poster display and demonstrations of interactive materials for developing listening skills in educational settings, and a final panel to plan ahead for future research. Two contributors received bursaries from BAAL/CUP funds to attend the seminar: Jeremy Cross of the University of Melbourne, and Alaa Mohamed al-Musaali of Sultan Qaboos University, Oman.
