Abstract
This chapter examines approaches to second language acquisition (SLA) in relation to L2 listening development and assessment. As researchers increasingly recognize the limitations of a purely cognitive-behavioral theory of SLA, socially-oriented approaches to SLA have gained momentum in the field. Thus, the scope of this chapter will extend beyond the cognitive and behavioral approaches and will incorporate sociocultural theory and complexity theory in SLA in the context of L2 listening development. It aims to present evidence supporting the role of exposure to spoken input in language development and discusses the role of extensive listening in L2 learning.
