Effects of Metacognitive Listening Strategy Training on Listening Comprehension and Strategy Use...

1. Who?

   • 54 students: 29 Experimental Group+ 25 Control group

2. Where?

   • Pre-University Programme CELPAD- Malaysia

3. How Long?

   • 14 weeks

4. What?

   • Quasi-experimental Research

5. Leading Questions

   • Is there a difference in learners’ listening comprehension performance after undergoing a metacognitive listening strategies training?
   • Are there differences in learners’ use of metacognitive listening strategies before and after undergoing a metacognitive listening strategies training?

6. Variables

   • Independent (The treatment)
     • The training in Metacognitive Strategies
   • Dependent
     • Pre-post test scores in both groups

7. Treatment

   • Experienced a metacognitive listening strategy training (MLST)
   • Integrated to the same listening classes and same course otline
   • Ss were provided a list of metacognitive strategies (what,when,how to use)
   • Class Instructions with Pedagogic Cycle
   • Regular checklist for Ss focused on pre and after listening

8. Instruments

   • LCT: Listening Comprehension Test: Developed by researcher, validated
   • MLSQ: Metacognitive Listening Strategy Questionnaire

9. Analysis

   • Results from instruments analysed using SPSS
     • EDA: Exploratory Data Analysis tool
     • Analysis of covariance: ANCOVA
       • t-test

10. Resuts

    • RQ1
      • ANCOVA: No significant difference in the listening test scores in both groups.
    • RQ2
      • Significant difference in both groups: ExpG significantly used more strategies after the training compared to CtrGr.
