The Listening Process : Effects of Question Types and Repetition

概要

論文の詳細を見る
The present study attempts to investigate how the listening process works in cases where the listening text is repeated. The experiment in this study set up two types of questions: global questions referring to top-down processing and local questions referring to bottom-up processing. The data collected from 165 Japanese senior high school students showed that repetition could improve the scores of both global and local questions, and that the two types of questions were scored equally by every proficiency level. The results suggest that the subjects were not able to use bottom-up processing effectively due to a lack of decoding skills. This study also attempts to investigate the relationship between proficiency level and repetition. The results indicated that repetition could affect proficient listeners more positively than less proficient listeners.
