Remote Learning

The online classes associated with the Covid-19 pandemic have resulted in the magnitude of remote learning of ESL (English as a second language). Sustaining the quality of teaching and learning of listening skills has become more challenging for everyone. Listening is one of the fundamental skills to acquire knowledge in an academic setting. Every instructor and learner need to perceive that listening is not an innate skill, understand the processes involved in listening comprehension, and integrate strategies while listening. The present study explores Metacognitive Awareness of Listening Strategies (MALS) and students’ perceptions about learning listening skills during remote learning. The current study was conducted through a multimethod research design where both quantitative and qualitative data were involved. Two instruments were utilised, which are the Metacognitive Awareness of Listening Questionnaire (MALQ) and the online discussion board. The participants were chosen based on simple random sampling consisting of 51 pre-university students enrolled in the Science Foundation programme in the 2020/2021 session. The first part of the results depicted students had an average level of MALS with directed attention strategies as the factor with the highest average. The second part of the results reported that students who scored a higher average score of MALS tend to use problem-solving strategies. Lastly, the board postings were analysed thematically and categorised to three different themes which are challenges, strategies, and activities of learning skills. It is hoped that this study will shed light on empirical strategies and evidence of listening practices during online classes. Both teachers and learners may have clearer insights on how to manage listening comprehension effort and use learning inherent to tackle remote learning.

The aim of this study is to determine the state of using metacognitive strategies to develop listening skills in teaching Turkish as a foreign language to Syrian children. This research is a descriptive study designed with the survey method. In June 2017, the Certification Program for Teaching Turkish as a Foreign Language was organized for Turkish educators who work in Adana, as a part of “The Project of Supporting Syrian Children’s Integration into the Turkish Education System”. In this context, all Turkish educators who work in Adana composed the population of this study while 108 Turkish educators constituted the sample of the study. In this study, the data were collected by the “Metacognitive Listening Strategies Opinion Form” developed by the researcher and analyzed with descriptive statistical techniques.  The findings of the study showed that most of the metacognitive strategies that can be used before listening are rarely used and that the response rates as to “always” or “often” in the questionnaire are quite low. It was observed that Turkish educators usually “rarely” used strategies apart from the strategy of “underlining words the meaning of which they do not know” in the listening process.The findings further indicated that more strategies were used before and after listening than during listening and that the most frequently used strategies by learners were summarizing the listening text in their own words, expressing the theme and main idea of the text they were listening to, telling which section/s in the listening text they mostly focused on, and answering the listening comprehension questions.

The Relationship

Listening is one of receptive skills which is important for language learners in order to understand and construct meaning from oral information which has been delivered. Meanwhile, metacognitive listening strategy is one of listening strategies that could be used by learners before, during, and after listening process in order to improve students’ listening ability. Here, the researcher wants to know whether there is relationship between metacognitive listening strategy and students’ listening comprehension. There are two aims of this study: 1) to know the different use of metacognitive listening strategy by proficiency level, and 2) to know the relationship between metacognitive listening strategies and students’ listening comprehension for eleventh grade in SMA Negeri 1 Gresik. This study applied quantitative research using correlation study, 30 students included high, middle, and low-level were the sample of this study. The data have been collected by using listening strategies questionnaire, metacognitive awareness listening questionnaire (MALQ) and listening TOEFL test. The first questionnaire contained listening strategy in order to know the students who used metacognitive listening strategy and selected the sample. The second questionnaire had a purpose to get the answer of students’ metacognitive listening strategy. The listening TOEFL test have been used to get the students’ score of listening comprehension and classified the students into high, middle, and low- level students. After gaining the data, the researcher analyzed the data using statistical computation of Microsoft Excel and SPSS 16.00. The research finding from the computation of the data showed that there was significant different on the use of metacognitive listening strategy by proficiency level in which p-value was 0.015 < ɑ (0.05) and there was positive, strong correlation between metacognitive listening strategy and students’ listening comprehension (r=0.525). Furthermore, the p-value of Pearson Product Moment was 0.03. It means that there was significant relationship between metacognitive listening strategy and students’ listening comprehension for eleventh grade in SMA Negeri 1 Gresik. It could be summed up that there was positive, strong, and significant correlation between metacognitive listening strategy and students’ listening comprehension. Based on the result of the study, the students needed to increase their metacognitive listening strategy for getting better performance in listening comprehension. If metacognitive listening strategy increased then so did students’ listening comprehension. Therefore, the researcher gives some suggestions. Firstly, the teachers should consider metacognitive listening strategy for the students in order to improve students’ listening comprehension. Secondly, for the students, they are expected to increase their metacognitive awareness by applying metacognitive listening strategy in their listening process. The last for the next researchers, they are expected to conduct the research about metacognitive listening strategy by involving more subjects.
