Metacognitive listening strategies
Listening in English is an active skill that requires different tasks such as discriminating between sounds, interpreting stress, intonation and understanding specific information among others. Listeners use a variety of mental processes to give meaning to the information they listen to. These mental processes that listeners use to understand spoken English are described as listening comprehension strategies.
