Teaching listening strategies is about developing listening comprehension skills in the language classroom. The paper introduces listening comprehension from the perspective of pedagogical research, reviews the notion of listening comprehension, listening comprehension strategies, and indicated difficulties in listening. The literature review assumes that it is necessary to improve students’ listening skills as this will reduce their difficulties in listening and can help them develop effective listening strategies, and finally improve their listening comprehension abilities. The paper reveals the main problems that arise during listening, potential reasons why it becomes difficult, and suggests possible ways to reduce students’ fears of listening.
The authors believe that one way to improve listening skills is to teach students listening trategies, among which cognitive strategies, metacognitive strategies, and socio-affective strategies are the most important. To test this point of view an experiment was conducted on university students. This experiment is described in the article. Excerpts from the students’ responses both at the beginning of the experiment and after its completion are also provided. It is worth noting that at the beginning of the experiment, students said that although they had previously been familiarized with listening strategies in theory, they used them non-systematically, not considering them important and useful. During the experiment, their points of view changed, which was demonstrated by the received feedback. The experiment confirmed that the students’ listening skills improved, and the students became more confident both in their own learning and in their teaching practice. Thus, the authors conclude that students should be taught listening strategies, as it develops both their own listening skills and helps future teachers to teach students these strategies.
