Research design
This classroom based study focused on raising students’ awareness of their strategy use and to guide them to employ effective strategies for listening tasks, and in turn, to empower them to take charge of their own learning about L2 listening when they leave the EFL classroom. Furthermore, rather than examining the endproduct of listening SI, this study focused in particular on exploring learners’ listening strategy development during the course of SI. More specifically, the research questionguiding this investigation was:
• How do EFL learners adjust their initial listening strategy use over time during the course of listening SI?
