In this regard, a longitudinal mixed methods case study was carried out involving one hundred (100) informants belonging to first and second years LMD. The researcher made use of a combination of research instruments to collect data such as two written tests (a pre-test and a post test); retrospective interviews, think-aloud protocols, a Metacognitive Awareness Listening Questionnaire (MALQ) as well as learners’ diaries. Listening metacognitive strategy instruction proved to be efficient as it helped in increasing students’ motivation, self-confidence and autonomy.enMetacognitionmetacognitive strategiesmetacognitive strategy instructionListening comprehension skillExploring the Effect of Metacognitive Strategy Instruction on EFL Learners’ Listening Comprehension SkillA case study of First and Second years Algerian LMD Students in the English Department, of the University of Algiers2Thesis
