How Explicit Listening Strategy Instruction Affects Listening Comprehension of Different Learners

Abstract

Abstract-Listening has been a growing interest of EFL/ESL researchers and teachers in the last 50 years because the majority of learners view listening as one of the most problematic skills. Recently, there have been discussions on teaching listening with the emphasis on strategy instruction for better achievement in listening comprehension. Hence, the researcher designed this quantitative study to help learners overcome their problem. The aim of this experimental research is to investigate whether explicit instruction of listening strategies s listening skill of different learner types. The study was conducted in an English language academy in Iran with 135 high-Intermediate EFL participants for 10 sessions. A pre-/post-test design was selected for data collection. The results revealed that all learners showed a higher mean score in the post-test than the pretest but with a slight difference in improvement of listening comprehension of different learner types.

The Effect Of Education With The Adolescent Reproductive Health Module On Increasing Peer Counselors' Knowledge About Family Life Planning In Pelamunan Village

“…Knowledge of the substance is needed by counselors when providing information to make alternative problem-solving because peer counseling makes adolescents stronger in facing their problems and able to make decisions themselves.

İkinci dil olarak Türkçe öğretiminde çevrim içi dinleme stratejileri öğretimi

“…Öğrencilerin dinleme problemlerinin üstesinden gelmelerinin ve başarılı bir dinleme gerçekleştirmelerinin en önemli yollarından birisi dinleme problemleriyle ilgili farkındalıklarını yükseltmek ve etkili dinleme stratejilerini kullanmada onları yönlendirmek ve bu stratejileri kullanmalarını sağlamaktır (Brown, 2006;Chen, 2009;Chen, 2013). Dinleme stratejisi öğretimiyle ilgili son yıllarda yapılan çalışmalara bakıldığında genel olarak elde edilen bulguların öğrencilerin dinlediklerini anlaması ve strateji kullanımı üzerinde pozitif etkisinin olduğu ve dinlediğini anlama performansını da artırdığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır (Goh, 1998;Graham & Macaro, 2008;Chen, 2013;Rahimirad, 2014;Ngo, 2016;Zarrabi, 2017). Söz konusu çalışmalar çoğunlukla İngilizcenin yabancı dil olarak öğretimi konulu çalışmalardır ancak dinleme stratejilerin belli bir ölçüde evrensel olduğu da söylenebilir.…”

“…As a result of this conceptualization of the skill, numerous researchers have investigated the effectiveness of strategic instruction for L2 listening (Goh, 2017;Graham, 2017;Ngo, 2019). A significant research base on language learning strategies asserts that teaching language learning strategies assists language learners in fostering the effective use of strategies (Chamot, 2005) and the effective strategy use and L2 achievements are positively correlated (Chen, 2013;Goh, 1998;Graham & Macaro, 2008;Ngo, 2016;Oxford et al, 2004;Rahimirad, 2014;Zarrabi, 2017). Karagöl (2019) points out that in teaching Turkish as an L2, there are mostly studies comparing listening texts and activities; however, subjects such as listening strategies, attitudes towards listening problems, the effect of technology on listening and academic listening are less studied.…”
