The present study provides both quantitative and qualitative analysis of the formation of language learners’ metacognition as the Mandarin-English college students in China. I hypothesized that language learning will be promoted by intervention of course teaching if students are trained to become more aware of and skillful at the use of metacognition strategies and other learning strategies that can be used in the language learning process. 3 of 115 freshmen from department of foreign language in Southwest Petroleum University are chosen to be subjects of the study. The result carries out to examine the intervention of strategy course on the formation of metacognition of English major freshmen in their language learning. The conclusions obtained from pre-interviews and post-interview have indicated that the subjects’ metacognition knowledge and metacognitive strategy use in language learning are conflicting. After the course, the metacognition of the subjects increased.

This research focuses on the EFL learners� problems in listening comprehension. The present research attempts to investigate listening problems encountered by a group of low level at seniors of a private university in Kuningan. This qualitative case study involved 10 participants who took TOEFL course in 7th semester. The data was gathered by means of questionnaires and interviews. The result of the research showed that accent, pronunciation, speed of speech, insufficient vocabulary, different accent of speakers, lack of concentration, anxiety, and bad quality of recording were the major listening comprehension problems encountered by EFL students. This research also found that most students (60%) used compensation strategy to overcome the problems by guessing the answer, while the others (30%) used memory strategy by using their knowledge or experiences, and the rest 10% of the students used affective strategy by motivating themselves to try answering the questions. Knowing students� learning difficulties may enable EFL teachers to develop the effective learning strategies and ultimately improve their English listening abilities. Suggestion is made for addressing problems regarding how students can help themselves and the teachers can help their students to overcome the listening comprehension problems encountered by the students.Keywords: EFL Learner, listening comprehension, listening problem
