A Study on Listening Strategies Instructed by Teachers and Strategies Used by Students

Abstract

Listening strategy is one of the most important factors that affect the process of listening comprehension. This article makes an empirical study on the listening strategies used by 174 non-English majors and 35 college English teachers. It aims at finding out how students use and teachers teach listening strategies, making comparison and contrast between teachers and students in using listening strategies, and recommending some constructive suggestions related to listening activities.
