Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n

Listening used in\u00a0language\u00a0teaching\u00a0refers to a complex process that allows us to understand spoken\u00a0language. The current study, conducted in Iran with an experimental design, investigated the effectiveness of\u00a0teaching\u00a0listening strategies delivered in L1 (Persian) and its effect on listening comprehension in L2. Five listening strategies: Guessing, making inferences, identifying topics, repetition, and note-taking were taught over 14 weeks during a semester. Sixty lower intermediate female participants came from two EFL classrooms in an\u00a0English\u00a0language\u00a0institute. The experimental class (n = 30) who listened to their classroom activities performed better (t value = 10.083) than the control class using a methodology that led learners through five listening strategies in Persian. The same teacher taught the students in the control class (n = 30), who listened to the same classroom listening activities without any of the above listening strategies. A pre and post listening test made by a group of experts in the\u00a0language\u00a0institute assessed the effect of\u00a0teaching\u00a0listening strategies delivered in L1. Results gathered on the post intervention listening test revealed that listening strategies delivered in L1 led to a statistically significant improvement in their discrete listening scores compared with the control group.
