| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
After listening and dictation tasks described below, students responded to a questionnaire generally positively, suggesting that they started to employ a new listening comprehension strategy where they would try to use grammatical and contextual redundancy to determine word forms of nouns and verbs and to identify articles and prepositions.
(1) Students listened to audio files played back once and chose proper forms of nouns or verbs. They played back corresponding audio files, with the key segments masked by noises, on their own as many times as they wanted and made similar choices. Finally, they repeated the activity in the first stage.
(2) A relatively simple and short news article with an audio file was chosen. Students were given a list of words for the article, consisting of the dictionary forms of the nouns and the verbs, with the articles and prepositions removed, and wrote down the text of the news audio file, which they were able to play back as many times as they wanted.
