Abstract
Many descriptive and experimental studies have shown a positive relationship
between success in language learning and variables such as metacognitive awareness
and learning strategy use. However, few studies have been done on how to improve
metacognitive awareness in listening, listening strategy use, and listening
comprehension. In this study, an attempt was made to determine the impact of listening
strategy instruction on Iranian senior EFL (English as a Foreign Language) students’
listening comprehension, metacognitive awareness in listening, and listening strategy
use. The objectives of the study are (1) to examine the effectiveness of listening strategy
instruction in making students efficient listeners, frequent users of listening strategies,
and more metacognitively aware of their listening; (2) to investigate the
interrelationships among listening comprehension level, listening strategy use, and
metacognitive awareness in listening; and (3) to identify the listening strategies learners
actually use when they encounter problems during real-time listening and the
effectiveness of these strategies
