영어 청해 전략 사용과 청해 능력과의 관계

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between English listening strategy use and the English listening comprehension. The subjects for this study are 128 high school students. They are 67 males and 61 females. This study was designed to investigate the following questions; (1) Does listening strategy use affect English listening comprehension? (2) Are there correlations between listening strategy use and English listening comprehension? (3)Do proficiency and gender levels affect the use of listening strategies? In regard to the first research question, the results ofthe between-within analysis of variance clearly indicate that listening strategy use affects English listing comprehension. Addressing the second question, this research study supports the correlations between listening strategy use and English listening comprehension. Finally, with regard to the third research question,the analysis of variance demonstrated that proficiency level of listening comprehension affects metacognive and cognitive strategy use. However, as for the socio-affective strategy use, there was no significant difference. Concerning genders, the data analysis indicated there was no interaction betweenthe two genders. These findings suggest that listening strategy use is closely correlated with students' listening comprehension. So, teachers should include strategy training in listening class to improve students' Englishl istening comprehension.
