Abstract	This paper describes the design and practical application of a program called "Listening" which has been developed to help young learners of English as a second language gain some strategies for comprehension in their new language. The long-range goal of the program is to develop the learner's active involvement in thinking about the facts he listens to, in applying language and thinking processes which help him comprehend and retain the salient features of a message which often exceed the explicit facts, and then in thinking more about them. Inquiry is the principal device of the program. The children learn to ask relevant, appropriate, and substantial questions, and to value such inquiry by actually engaging in the activity. Question-asking acts as the pivot from second language learning to learning in the second language. A description of the program is provided, with remarks on the objectives and characteristics of the various states of the program. (Author/VM)
