Abstract
New communication technologies, applications, and software have fundamentally changed how we communicate. However, listening research and scholarship has not kept pace – conceptually, methodologically, or theoretically – with this emerging area of research. This special issue takes an important step toward addressing the intricacies and complexities associated with mediated listening.
Notes
1 For exceptions, see Worthington, Keaton, Imhof, and Välikoski (Citation2016); Worthington, Välikoski, Fitch-Hauser, Imhof, and Kim (Citation2012); Worthington and Fitch-Hauser (Citation2018) also review the implications of and impact of mediated listening. We recognize there has been significant research in the areas of education and language, especially that focusing on using computers to build listening and language skills.
