how to listen to fast speech

An excellent book came out about ten years ago: John Field's 'Listening in the language classroom':

This book challenges the orthodox approach to the teaching of second language listening, which is based upon the asking and answering of comprehension questions. 
The book's central argument is that a preoccupation with the notion of 'comprehension' has led teachers to focus upon the product of listening, in the form of answers to questions, ignoring the listening process itself.
