Listening as process: Learning activities for self-appraisal and self-regulation

By Prof. Licda. Virginia Mora Realvimoreal@costarricense.cr

This article written by Christine Goh gives a theoretical framework and provides some useful ideas for developing our learner´s listening ability and several ways to improve it.
This process is called metacognitive instruction in listening. I had realized about this concept previously and got impressed by the magnitude itself. As the author states it refers to an awareness of one´s process in learning.
So when teaching we should be aware of the topic or content, but most important of all,  be aware of the different ways to increase this metacognition in our students capacities.

The literature also includes a distinction between metacognitive experience and metacognitive knowledge. Besides, the metacognitive knowlegde  contains three dimensions: person, task, and strategy.
