MA-Thesis: An investigation into applying questioning techniques in teaching listening skills at the college of mechanics and metallurgy

1. Preface

Students at The College of Mechanics and Metallurgy are taught English at A2 level with average scores. Before applying questioning techniques, two questionnaires are delivered: one is for students and the other one is for teachers of English. Questionnaire for students was made to find out the problems students encounter in learning listening as well as their expectations from the teachers to help them increase their listening comprehension. Questionnaire for teachers mainly focused on teaching methods in teaching listening skills. After that, a listening comprehension pretest was carried out for both groups to check students’ listening ability. After the pretest results, the treatment was performed by the researcher to improve the listening comprehension skills of the experimental group
