John Field

Dr John Fieldʼs research interests lie in first and second language listening and in the application of psycholinguistic theory to an understanding of second language processes. He teaches psycholinguistics and child language development at the University of Reading and cognitive approaches to SLA at Cambridge University. He has guest edited issues of international journals on both L2 listening and psycholinguistics in ELT, and has written background books on psycholinguistics, among them a widely-used reference source. He has advised on the cognitive validation of writing, reading and speaking papers in the Cambridge suite. His Listening in the Language Classroom (CUP) appeared recently.
