摘要

The study reported in the paper examines the use of listening strategies by 266 English majors across four college years from Nantong Teachers College with a self-designed questionnaire and interviews. It aims at describing the extent to which these learners used listening strategies and how the use of listening strategies varied with the four proficiency levels for comprehension tasks. The study reveals no significant variations in their use of metacognitive, cognitive and affective strategies,except the affective strategy use between the 3rd-and 4th-graders.With the two cognitive processes, the learners varied significantly in bottom-up processing, showing a linear decline with the progression of their language level, but did not demonstrate any significant variation in top-down processing. In terms of these major findings, some suggestions are made for the teaching of listening.
