Language Learning Strategy Instruction : Design, Implementation and Results of a Workshop on Listening Strategies for EFL Students

Abstract

Language learning strategies are considered keys to learners' autonomy and meaningful learning. Teachers play an important role in helping learners become aware of, develop, and use strategies to complete tasks. In 2015, a series of workshops using "one-time strategy training" (Oxford, 2011, 1990) were delivered to train EFL students doing the course English Language I at the School of Languages (U.N.C.) in the use of direct and indirect language learning strategies to apply to the four macroskills. This paper reports the design, implementation, and results of the workshop on listening strategies to carry through listening tasks at B1 level.Keywords: language learning strategies " strategy-based instruction " listening strategies
