“…88% of the respondents are self-motivated because they think listening skill is important. Listening skill is said to be an important agent in oral production by establishing a foundation for speaking in the language (Yavuz & Celik, 2017). Therefore, through this realisation, the pupils would be able to put in some effort during the listening lessons.…”

The importance of language learning strategies (LLS) for ESL learners has been revealed in various studies since many years ago. However, very little studies covered the LLS particularly in listening skills among young learners. Thus, the aim of this paper is to investigate the use of language learning strategies to acquire listening skills among year 3 pupils. Quantitative research design was employed for this study where 51 Year 3 students were selected using purposive sampling method. Researchers said the findings of this study showed that pupils prefer cognitive when it comes to direct strategy and affective when it comes to indirect strategy. However, the study also revealed that most of the pupils prefer to listen to songs during lessons to learn a language. It is hoped that the findings could shed lights to teachers and pupils in teaching and learning process as well as adding value to the literature that already exists.

“…A few researchers have given more importance to other skills than listening. However, Yavuz & Celik (2017), it is not simple to exclude listening from language learning due to its vitality in communication. In a study carried out by Yildrim & Yildrim (2016) listening takes up 40 -50 % of the time in communicating and the other skills which are speaking, reading, and writing comprise another 50% which is eventually less than the listening time taken.…”

All four language skills are a child's solution to the puzzle of learning. While all skills are crucial for language learning, this study accentuates learning strategies used in an instructed classroom setting by Year 4 pupils to enhance ESL listening skills. Six-language learning strategies namely memory, cognitive, compensation, meta cognitive, affective and social were proposed in this study. Thirty pupils from an intermediate class were chosen to participate in this study. A purposive sampling was done to select participants from a suburban area. A Strategy Inventory of Language Learning (SILL) questionnaire and a checklist were used to collect data. The study procured that the most common strategy used by the participants with the highest mean score was the social strategy. The findings showed that participants tend to use social strategy through the interaction among peers in classroom. This research concludes with call for more research into this promising pedagogy.

“…After reviewing related studies on importance of listening skills in higher education, the researcher found its significant contribution in improvement of vocabulary ( (Yavuz & Celik, 2017), classroom dynamics which inevitably leads to successful adjustment in learning environment and also helps to cope with stressful situations. But, inadequacy of systematic studies relating to its relation to academic performance as well as underlying factors associated with variation in listening skills let the researcher reflect upon and identify the need to study the same on students of disadvantaged social groups at higher education in West Bengal.…”

Listening is the key to all effective communication. Good listening ability helps a person to make ideas, processing information, making pertinent comments, and ask relevant questions. This study aimed to understand existing listening skills among the socially disadvantaged students based on different demographic indicators and check whether listening skill and academic performance are somehow related when both the category of students are considered in higher education in West Bengal. Undergraduate freshman students of college and universities at West Bengal consisted of the population for the study where 225 students who regularly attended the course after successful completion of the higher secondary level selected as sample. Major findings revealed that the gender, stream, and medium of instruction has a significant contribution in a variation of listening skill (p<0.05); also, listening skill and academic performance is positively correlated with high statistical significance (p<0.01).
