THE IMPACT OF NOTE TAKING STRATEGY ON IRANIAN EFL AT INTERMEDIATE LEVEL OF LISTENING ABILITY

Listening in language teaching refers to a complex process that allows us to understand spoken language. The current study, conducted in iran with an experimental design, investigated the effectiveness of teaching listening strategies delivered in l1 (persian) and its effect on listening comprehension in l2. One listening strategy: note-taking was taught over 6 sessions during a semester. The participants in this study are 100 learners in ariana's institute in bandar anzali. First an opt will be administered between them. Then 60 learners are chosen. Their score is one standard deviation below the mean. After that, the researcher divides them into two groups, experimental and control groups randomly. A pre listening test (10 questions are selected from jack. c. richard's book, 1986) was administered to both groups, and their scores were recorded. then just the experimental group went under 6sessions of treatment on listening. After the treatment, again both groups sat for the same test, but this time as a post-test. All the recorded scores were evaluated results gathered on the post intervention listening test revealed that listening strategies delivered in l1 led to a statistically significant improvement in their discrete listening scores.
