The name attribute in the html tag must have the brackets; however, when you grab the input in your controller you must not include the brackets.

View:

{{ Form::select('language_ids[]', $languagesArray, defaultSelectionsArray, ['multiple' => 'true']) }}

Controller:

public function store() {
    $languageIds = Input::get('language_ids');
}
