This study investigated the perceived use of listening strategies among 243 Japanese EFL university learners through the use of a written questionnaire. The following research questions were addressed: (1) What are the underlying characteristic features of the listening strategies that the learners attempt to employ and believe themselves able to use? (2) What differences are observed in the degree of listening strategy perception among groups of differing listening proficiency? (3) Which listening strategies are the best predictors of performance on a listening test? and, (4) What differences are observed in the predictors of listening test performance between proficient listeners and less proficient listeners? The result of factor analysis yielded a four-factor solution: "Top-down Listening Processing Strategies," "Listening Strategies Employed to Cope with Lengthy Aural Transactional Discourse when Delivered at Natural Speed," "Phonology-based Bottom-up Listening strategies," and "Listening Strategies Making Use of Salient Features as Cues." These factors indicated strategies characteristic of processing of transactional aural discourse and strategies related to interaction of bottom-up and top-down processing. The result of multiple regression confirmed that the strategies employed to cope with lengthy aural message proved to be the best predictor of listening test performance. Differences in proficiency level caused significant differences in ratings on the listening strategy questionnaire and differences in the relationship between listening strategies and a listening test score.
