The purpose of this study was to determine how suprasegmental awareness in an EFL setting relates to overall listening comprehension. To be precise, the study examined the association between EFL learners' scores in their ability to recognize stress and intonation and their actual performance in a listening comprehension test. Participants were 149 EFL second year students of the College of Foreign Languages - Danang University. The participants took a suprasegmental awareness test prior to a comprehensive listening ability test. Results of correlation analyses of the two sets of scores from the two tests suggest that the association between suprasegmental awareness and listening comprehension is very strong.
