Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to identify Iranian EFL learner’s awareness degree of listening factors and strategies and the effect of input modification in improvement of listening comprehension. Since listening is a mental process and is not directly observable I had used qualitative method and sought to subjective data not objective one. Two groups of boys and girls in intermediate level had been selected and interviewed with open-ended questions concerning the difficulties which they encounter in listening comprehension and factors which they were aware of them. I had made a categorization from the obtained findings of interviews and suggested strategies to solve or at least reduce the problems. I had investigated the effect of input modification in two different listening texts; the results indicated that the use of input modification had a high positive relation with students’ level of listening comprehension.
