Exploring Listening Learning Strategies of L2 Students at Different Proficiency Levels
Get PDFEnhancing second language (L2) listening skills is a major goal in L2 teaching and learning. Despite its importance, there are insufficient studies on the learning strategies L2 learners use during listening. Using a pilot research design, this study explored the similarities and differences in strategy use between high and low proficiency groups of 12 EFL learners in a semester-long course at a university in Vietnam. In addition to statistical analyses of the Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL) questionnaire, the instructor’s interview data were analyzed. The findings revealed significant differences in the frequency of strategy use between the two groups; how-ever, both high and low proficiency groups experienced anxiety before listening tests or exams. Interestingly, all participants were actively engaged in teamwork, though the lower proficiency group sometimes hesitated to work with peers due to limited linguistic knowledge. The findings contribute to L2 listening teaching and learning, with suggestions for training courses in listening strategies

Knowledge and Emotions in Socioscientific Decision Making
Get PDFSocioscientific issues require practical decisions that use knowledge and emotions as inputs for the decision-making process. To examine how these resources influence decision-making, this investigation was conducted from a constructionist epistemological stance, a symbolic interactionism theoretical perspective, and a grounded theory methodology. Twenty-five informants were purposefully selected based on the study’s selection criteria. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, transcribed, and analyzed using Hennink and Kaiser’s strategies to achieve theoretical saturation. The analysis revealed that: (1) Knowledge of socioscientific issues was associated with emotion-related objects that elicited negative emotional responses from decision-makers; (2) These negative emotions triggered the use of related conceptual and contextual knowledge in generating decision alternatives; (3) Positive emotions motivated decision alternatives toward specific goals; (4) Decision alternatives contained both cognitive and affective components; and (5) Decisions were based on the appraisal of the overall cognitive and affective baggage of these alternatives. The findings underscored the importance of decision-makers enhancing their cognitive and affective resources and incorporating both when making practical decisions to effectively ad-dress socioscientific issues, thereby contributing to positive outcomes for individuals, societies, and the global community
