Abstract

It is well known that nowadays listening has become one of the most powerful and challenging skills in foreign language learning. Hence, the present study focuses on the most common strategies that students from Advanced English I apply outside the classroom to enrich their listening skill. Consequently, a total of 123 pupils who took this subject were picked up to be part of this investigation. Data was gathered by means of a questionnaire and also a listening test. Thus, the outcomes of such study bring to public view that listening to music in English, play videos on YouTube, watch movies among others were some strategies successfully implemented by the majority of learners. Moreover, since it has been acknowledged what students do outside the class for improving their listening skill, teachers now have the chance not only to suggest ways to come along the listening skill but also how to give positive feedback to engage learners to succeed on this area. Finally, it has been created a list of suggestions that can help out both teachers and students so as to work together and get the most of it including a better performance in and outside the class classroom.
