Abstract

This paper explores the application of metacognitive strategies in listening teaching, aiming to enhance students’ listening comprehension and self-learning abilities. The study investigates the theoretical foundations of metacognitive strategies, their implementation in listening instruction, and the effectiveness of this approach. Through literature review, the research demonstrates that incorporating metacognitive strategies in listening teaching significantly improves students’ listening performance, learning effectiveness and autonomous learning skills. The findings suggest that educators should integrate metacognitive strategy into listening training to foster more effective and independent learning.
