Abstract

According to O'Malley & Charmot's definition of learning strategy content, this paper investigates the use of listening strategies of college English majors in listening comprehension by questionnaire. The study found that learners' use of listening strategies is not sufficient, especially the lack of use of social affective strategies and metacognitive strategies. At the same time, the use of cognitive strategies is not balanced and more learners use translation strategies in listening comprehension , Prediction and inference strategies, and less to use self-questioning strategies. According to the survey results, the author puts forward some suggestions on the strategy teaching in English majors' listening teaching.
