Outline of Research at the Start

This study aims to (1) elicit learners’ strategy selections using an online survey adapted from the MALQ’s statements, (2) examine the strategy combinations they use in their computerized listening notes, (3) and understand learners’ reasons for their selections using oral listening journals. In addition to developing a novel digitalised approach to utilize listening journals in second language learning, this study will examine individual learners’ resource selections, strategy use, and experience of real-time extensive listening practices.
