Abstract

This piece of action research was driven by the need to diagnose the problems that students of English as a Foreign Language face in developing better listening skills. As a teacher, I felt that it was essential to scaffold the learning experiences through various strategies so that a satisfactory level of development could be attained. This study therefore, probed the following questions : a) What are the problems EFL students encounter in comprehending audiotexts? b) Why do EFL students face difficulty in taking down notes or information from audio-texts? c) What are the effective teaching-learning strategies which will help students' develop listening comprehension and note-taking skills?
