Abstract

The  present  study  aimed  at  exploring  the  influence  of  a  repeated  exposure  to  the  Metacognitive Awareness  Listening  Questionnaire  (MALQ)  on  EFL  learners’  level  of  metacognitive  awareness. Participants  of  the  study  were  forty  intermediate  university  students  who  were  randomly  assigned  to experimental (n=20) and control (n=20) groups. The experimental group completed MALQ in odd sessions (seven sessions in total) across a semester. The control group, on the other hand, completed it in the first and  last  sessions of  the  course  as pre‐test  and  post‐test,  respectively.  Results  of  the  study  showed  that the questionnaire benefited the experimental group  in a statistically significant way. Also, findings of the study  revealed  that  less‐skilled  participants  of  the  experimental  groups  benefited  from  the  treatment more in comparison to their more‐skilled counterparts in the experimental group.  Keywords: MALQ, metacognitive instruction, metacognitive awareness
