다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the awareness towards strategy use for listening skill and the self-identified learning strategies in the listening tasks, and to examine variables affecting on the use of strategy in an EFL listening class. Six subjects from an EFL listening class are selected. For this study, the primary technique of data collection was semi-structured interviews. The findings show that all six participants reported language learning strategy to be beneficial for their listening ability, but they differed in the evaluation of their own strategy use. Findings indicated that learning strategies across six students identified in the listening tasks could be classified into five categories-cognitive, metacognitive. social. affective, and compensatory. In addition, the result showed the salient variables affecting the use of listening strategies were proficiency of the learner, motivation, teaching styles, and the difficulty of task. The present study implies the importance of strategy instruction for promoting a conscious awareness of strategy use and use of workable strategies.
