Abstract

The study aimed to investigate the effect of using top-down listening processing strategies on developing listening comprehension of Al-Aqsa University EFL (English as a foreign language) female students. To achieve the study aim, the researcher employed three instruments i.e., a listening comprehension test, teaching worksheets, and an open-ended questionnaire. Participants were sixty four Palestinian EFL female students, who were divided into two equivalent groups i.e, experimental group and control group. While top-down listening strategies were taught to the experimental group students, the control group students received no instruction at all. Results showed that using top-down listening strategies improved the participants' EFL listening comprehension. Moreover, the open-ended questionnaire data showed that the participants had positive views on such strategies. In light of the study results, pedagogical implications were introduced. Keywords: top-down strategies, listening comprehension, EFL students
