Description

Metacognitive strategy use has been regarded as helpful for learners’ listening comprehension; however, it is rarely instructed to students in class in Japan. This research observes learners’ metacognitive strategy awareness during a three-day teaching practicum, where the high school students are exposed to metacognitive strategies for listening tasks. The presentation will show implications for future teaching.
