This study is aimed to identify the difficulties to comprehend listening activities experienced by students and their strategies in understanding Listening Comprehension section of TOEIC test. Descriptive qualitative method was employed to find out and analyze the difficulties and strategies the students implemented. The research was carried out at English Department of Politeknik Negeri Bandung with the population of the third semester students in Academic Year 2017/2018.  There were 22 students as the subject in this study. Data were collected by questionnaires and interview to confirm students’ answers. The results showed that the major problems encountered by students were unfamiliar vocabulary, accents of the speaker, speed of speech, lack of concentration, and quality of recorded materials. Listening strategies implemented by students were mostly metacognitive strategy since in this strategy they obtain the awareness of the materials they are listening to in a more cautious way. This method is about the ways of planning, monitoring and assessing the collected information from the listening section the same as pre listening activities. Students applying metacognitive strategies have the benefits such as they can use appropriate learning strategy to master learning materials; they comprehend learning materials more quickly and integrate the knowledge seriously; they put themselves to be loyal receivers and can be properly adaptable to all conditions; they have high confidences in themselves to get help when needed from their peers, teachers, or family; they pay attention to the materials and assess themselves as to how to be successful learners; and they properly deal with the problems in doing their task. Keywords: Students’ Difficulties, Listening Comprehension, Listening Strategies

Metacognitive strategies help students understand the way they learn and the steps they take. Hence, learners will success in learning a language. The study investigated metacognitive listening strategies awareness and the listening difficulties among the second semester students at Faculty of Letter of Universitas Pamulang academic year 2017/2018. Out of 300 students of the population, 131 students (99 females and 32 males) were chosen as the samples based on the random sampling. The data in this study were obtained through questionnaires (MALQ, Vandergrift et al, 2006) and openended questionnaire. This study revealed that overall the highest level of the students’ metacognitive awareness is problem solving and the lowest is directed attention. The students identified a number of factors that contribute to difficulties in listening comprehension: lack of vocabulary, speaker speed, accent, pronunciation, concentration, and other problems. In this paper, the findings and conclusion are discussed for classroom instruction and note substantive concerns that should be addressed in future research.

Listening comprehension is one of the important skills for learning a foreign language. Among four basic skills in language leaning, many researchers say that listening skill is applied the most frequently. Therefore, strategies for listening comprehension and the ability to employ them effectively are indispensable in language learning. This paper was an attempt to investigate the listening strategies employed by English non-majored students at Tay Do University. A total of 64 students of two different majors at the university participated in this study to answer a widely used language learning strategy questionnaire. The questionnaire consists of 31 questions including metacognitive strategies, cognitive strategies, social and affective strategies. The data were analyzed by SPSS 11.5 program. The findings indicated that most students applied listening strategies with different degrees and they needed guidance from their instructors. Moreover, the study also presents the relationships among these listening strategies. Finally, the results of this study provide implications for improving the quality of teaching and learning listening skill in the Vietnamese context. <p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0747/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

This study is about the effect of metacognitive learning strategy toward students’ achievement in listening comprehension an experimental study at the second-year students of MTs.AL-MADANIYAH Jempong Mataram in the academic year 2016-2017. The purpose of the study is to know whether there is an effect of metacognitive learning strategy or not toward students’ achievement in listening comprehension. The research method was quasi-experimental research with nonequivalent control group design. The population of the research was all of the second year Students of MTs.AL-MADANIYAH Jempong Mataram, conducted of two classes as a sample; Experimental group II A and Control group II B. II A was taught by using Metacognitive Learning Strategy while II B was taught without using Metacognitive Learning Strategy. The researcher gave the Listening test to gather the data. The formula that used to analyze the data was t-test. It is supposed to know the significant difference between students’ score in the experimental group and control group. Based on the computation of the t-test formula, it was found that the mean score of the experimental group was 17,6 and the mean score of the control group was 9,2. After analyzing the data, it was found that t-test was 5,626. The degree of freedom (df) was (Nx+Ny-2) = (25+25-2) =48. The degree of freedom from 38 students as the sample. The researcher got a score for confident level 0.5 or 95% and score 2.000, for confident level 0.1 or 99% is 2.660. It means that t-test was higher than t-table. After the data had been obtained; it was found that metacognitive learning strategy has a positive effect on teaching listening. It showed by the significant value of t-test >t-table. It means that Ha (alternative hypotheses) was accepted because t-test was higher than t-table. Based on the explanation, the researcher concludes that the effect of metacognitive learning strategy toward students achievement in listening comprehension at the second year students of MTs.AL- MADANIYAH Jempong Mataram has a positive effect.
