EFL Cognitive Listening Strategy Instruction

The researcher's experience in the field of teaching methods makes him claim that EFL teachers do nothing more than testing listening comprehension. They just play the cassette and ask a few comprehension questions after listening. Most of these questions are answered by the best students; meanwhile, the majority of the students are just silent and sleepy. In this way the teachers test listening rather than teach it. Thus, the author proposes a model based on cognitive listening strategy instruction aids EFL teachers to teach listening in a structured way.
