A survey of language instructors was conducted to examine the relationship between L2 listening research, pedagogical theory, and practice. Descriptive and qualitative analyses of the responses suggest that there are gaps between L2 listening pedagogical theory and practice, and between L2 listening research and practice. Several suggestions for closing the gap between L2 listening research and practice are then proposed.
