Abstract
The purpose of this research was to enhance listening performance of EFL majors using podcasts and learner strategies. The attempt was made to explore students' awareness of the strategies they employ during listening tasks and how this relates to their overall listening ability. Seventy-six third year EFL students were selected from the Faculty of Languages and Translation at Misr University for Science and Technology to participate in the study. They were randomly divided into two equal groups of 38; an experimental group and a control group. Two instruments were administered; namely, a listening performance test and a questionnaire on learner strategy use. The experimental group were exposed to podcast-based instruction while the control received their regular content. Results revealed that the experimental group’s listening performance improved significantly. The findings also indicated that students' strategy use of listening strategies and their performance were positively correlated, with proficient students demonstrating greater strategy use than the less proficient. It was concluded that using podcasts is effective in enhancing listening performance of EFL majors.
