the effect of note-taking strategy on efl ninth-grade students’ listening comprehension
This study investigated the effect of a note-taking strategy on the listening comprehension of EFL ninth-grade students. A quasi-experimental approach was applied on two groups. The researchers assigned two sections of grade nine students at the Mariam Bint Imran Secondary School for Girls, a public institution of the Directorate of Education in Irbid. The first section was randomly assigned as the experimental group (24 students) and the second as the control group (25 students). A pre-/post listening comprehension test was prepared to achieve the study's goal. The experimental group was taught using the Note-taking strategy, whereas the control group was taught using the standard listening strategy, as described in the Teacher's Book. According to the findings, the Note-taking strategy enhanced students' listening comprehension. Based on the findings of the study, the researchers suggested that different EFL skills and levels of students should apply the Note-taking Strategy. (Published abstract)
