Metacognitive strategy instruction

Improving listening skill in EFL classrooms has always a concern for both teachers and students. The reason is that this skill is NOT equally considered in the classroom syllabus compared with other three macro-skills such as reading writing and speaking. Further the notion of process of teaching it is neglected but the product is favored in the classrooms. Thus metacognitive strategy instruction can ameliorate this undesirable deficiency through valuing the process of listening to improve this skill.
