Description

This presentation explores how repetition and self-recording improve EFL learners’ listening skills. Using TOEIC materials, students repeatedly practiced passages, recorded and reviewed their performance, and received peer feedback, fostering automatization and metacognitive awareness. Post-test results showed improved comprehension, suggesting this interactive, self-regulated approach enhances learner autonomy and engagement. The method provides a practical approach for enhancing listening proficiency in university classrooms.

Summary

This study explores how repetition and self-recording enhance listening skills in EFL learners. Using TOEIC materials, students repeatedly practiced target passages over weeks. They recorded, reviewed, and received peer feedback, fostering automatization and metacognitive awareness. Post-test results show improved comprehension, suggesting this interactive, self-regulated approach supports learner autonomy and engagement. This method is applicable in university classrooms to strengthen listening proficiency.
