• Listening Strategies Employed by Vietnamese EFL Undergraduate Students: A Mixed-Methods Investigation (2026) · European Journal of English Language Studies · doi

  The quantitative and qualitative findings have indicated that the frequency of use of strategies in listening relies more on cognitive strategies than metacognitive and socio-affective ones. This suggests a need for both students and teachers to emphasise learning and training across all strategy groups to support learners’ balance in their use of cognitive, metacognitive, and socio-affective strategies for a more integrated listening competence. Overall, these findings enhance our theoretical understanding of Vietnamese students’ listening strategies and offer practical implications for designing more effective English listening instruction.

• The Listening Skill: Neglected, Tested, and Rarely Taught: The Realities of Teaching Listening in the Libyan Context (2026) · Comprehensive Journal of Science · doi

  According to the studies mentioned above and their results which can be considered successful and promising in teaching, learning and, consequently, improving listening skills, it is suggested that policymakers should reconsider the present strategies of teaching and learning listening as, indeed, they are outdated and shown to be somewhat ineffective. This is because listening is introduced as a passive skill in these strategies where it is thought to develop automatically without any instructions. In addition, it is necessary for teachers, particularly Libyans, to become aware of more effective techniques for teaching this significant skill. These can be cognitive, metacognitive and listening strategies and so forth which have been proven to be, to some extent, productive in expanding students’ listening capacity leading to its improvement. Another suggestion is that teachers, in their turn, should introduce these strategies to their students teaching them their types, differences, uses, and applications in the classroom in order to obtain the desired results. To achieve this, teachers should be adequately trained in teaching EFL by adopting methods and approaches that concentrate on listening as a vital input for language learning. This is policymakers’ responsibility because their role is to provide instructors with the appropriate training, materials, and qualified EFL trainers to guarantee the success of this significant shift in listening teaching and in language learning in general.

• Examining the Effects of Podcast-Based Extensive Listening on EFL Learners' Pronunciation and Listening Comprehension (2026) · Journal of Language Literature & Social Affairs · doi

  The researchers suggest the use of podcast based extensive listening activities in daily classroom teaching for EFL teachers in Pakistan. Time must be provided in the curriculum for listening to authentic material in large quantities. Future studies should be conducted in other proficiency levels and institutions and the long-term retention of the pronunciation and listening comprehension gains gained from podcast-based teaching should be examined.
