Listening is probably the most difficult skill to work in the ESL curriculum, making it
seem an unappealing and even passive activity. This classroom-based research paper
studies the impact of the teaching of listening strategies with authentic videos on students’
listening comprehension skills and their perceptions of the intervention. The training
sessions were carried out in eight weeks with a group of secondary school students. The
strategies group received training on the development of listening strategies using
authentic videos whereas the role-play group was asked comprehension questions after
the viewing of the video followed by oral activities. The study shows that systematic
instruction in the use of strategies did not result in the improvement of listening
comprehension. However, students who had been trained in listening strategies
demonstrated a statistically significant increase over their counterparts in a role-play
group, -not only in most of the concepts referring to their perceptions of the listening activities but also in their level of metacognition awareness related to the listening skill learning.
