4.6 Schedule of the Study
The main study took 5 weeks, and the schedule for each week is shown below in Table 35.
Table 35 Schedule of the Main Study
The first cycle of listening tasks 1 and 2 were executed in the following order:
Step 1: The participants filled in the Metacognitive Awareness Listening Questionnaire to report their general use of metacognitive listening awareness. (10 minutes)
Step 2: The teacher gave out information transfer activity sheet and asked the participants to enter their names. (1 minute)
Step 3: The participants listened to a listening text with the following varied procedures for different groups:
(a) The participants in Group A listened to the text just once and accomplished the activity sheet while listening. (4 minutes)
(b) The participants in Group B listened to the text three times. For the first time, they just listened, and the second time, they completed the activity sheet as they listened, and they checked their answers and made any necessary changes and corrections during the third time listening. (10 minutes)
(c) Just as for Group B, the participants in Group C listened to the text three times. But before the listening, according to the clues from the information transfer activity sheet and the topic of the upcoming listening task announced by the teacher, they spent 5 minutes working in pairs on a topic-familiarization activity, i. e., brainstorming, guessing, and discussing on the listening topic, so as to produce a schema about the topic. It should be noted that the teacher didn't expose the participants to any of the target words in the topic-familiarization activity, but only the topic of the listening text. (15 minutes)
(d) As for the participants in Group D, they also listened to the text three times. But before the listening, they received 5-minute strategy training on inferencing, i. e., guessing the meaning of an unknown word by using their general knowledge and clues they could find from the context. (15 minutes)
Step 4: The teacher collected the information transfer activity sheets from the participants. (1 minute)
Step 5: Steps 2-4 were conducted again with listening task 2.
Step 6: The teacher gave out the production test sheets. The participants wrote their names and finished the test. The teacher collected the test sheets. (8 minutes)
Step 7: The teacher gave out the form test sheets. The participants wrote their names and finished the test. The teacher collected the test sheets. (8 minutes)
Step 8: The teacher gave out the reception test sheets. The participants wrote their names and finished the test. The teacher collected the test sheets. (8 minutes)
Step 9: Steps 6-8 were conducted again in the following week as the delayed post-tests.
The above procedure (steps 1-9) was repeated for the second cycle of listening tasks 3 & 4 in the following two weeks. 元认知策略研究:二语听力理解与附带词汇习得(英文版)
